In the entire history of the human race there is no system that has brought more prosperity and progress to humans than Capitalism...If anyone knows of a better system that has benefited humanity more, at any time in history, I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT. ...As many in the past have said in one form or another- If you're not a socialist when you're young, you don't have a heart, and if you're not a fiscal conservative when you're older you don't have a brain... People just need to grow up. Unfortunately, some folks never do.
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 the following plan : All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade !
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.
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 communism 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 else.
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 !
