As the late Adrian Rogers said, "You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
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 will work, because no one would be poor and no one would be rich--all would be equal.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class, using 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 third test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings. No one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, all had failed! 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! (Please pass this on.)
