Throughout history any civilization that rewards non-production and penalizes production ends up with no production from any.
This has been the downfall of every great nation that has ever existed, including our own.
To understand economics you must start with the idea that you can’t understand it. It’s too complicated, that’s what’s so simple about it. – daniel w. jacobs

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
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 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 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 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 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)
Anon.
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.
Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.
