That makes sense

Thu Jul 16, 2009, 7:50 PM
So, I'm not trying to turn this into a political blog and a referendum against Obama or anything, so don't get me wrong. But I got this email from my uncle and it made sense to me so I wanted to share. Let me know what you think.

****An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

I wish I was back in college, but now I am in the Army. I plan to go back in a year or so and study history or politics. If all goes right, I'll start a great business with my brother or friend, it will be a huge success, and I'll never have to work again. If things don't go like I hope, I'll work somewhere on computers in an office, make money but not be happy to go to work everyday.

you're suppose to say "of course, romania is awesome, you would have a great time." But I guess since you didn't say that I'll just have to draw my own conclusions...
