Wisdom or Intelligence? (Simple lesson on Socialism)
Written by Ernest Hancock Subject: Philosophy: Socialism
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single
student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The 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 socialism.
All grades would be averaged and everyone
would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would recieve 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. But, 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, name cal ling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for
anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them
that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the greater
the reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or
succeed. |
