Fwd: Teacher Fails Entire Class! ...
Subject: Teacher Fails Entire Class! ...
To:
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never
failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that 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 this plan".
All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will
fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer
to home and more readily understood by all).
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
want 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.
As the tests proceeded, 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.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED 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.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Dave,
Why do you say "fools" in this instance?
I believe the failures of socialism/communism are so stark in contrast to the USA's blessed history, yet even this country is still cursed by devilish ways of humans.
Our first conversation, back in the eighties in Catlanta Rennaisance Hotel lobby, were enlightening to me. I know you are bright. I don't always agree with my 'brighter' friends. You have expressed a lot of criticism about America. I revere those who fought for our freedoms which adherence to our constitution maintains, and I cannot believe that humans, left to their own ways, will devise an unselfish system of "To each according to his abilities and from each according to his needs." You are much aware of history that shows politicians of countries all over this world belie that.
And , you know that I profess to be Christian while knowing my own human failings, but I do believe in a higher good. I, friend, don't force that on you or any of my friends. Acceptance or rejection is a free choice.
You must know that I circulate my emails fairly widely among my friends. but welcome any reply that comes back blank or with a comment to "Remove Sam's messages from my mailing list". I don't aim that specifically at you, but to all who receive my missiles of attempted humor or enlightenment. My own ideas are not so profound as I would hope for. I strive to act satisfactorily in my life to receive God's acceptance. I am not capable of God's Judging ability.
