Tea Party Tribune – by Wayne Dupree
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) These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
- What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
- The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
- You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!.
- 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.

This professor is my hero! Awesome! In one semester he woke up a class to reality. Give this man a medal of honor!
Thought you might appreciate this one, NC. 🙂
Indeed, I do! lol
Surprisingly, I met a local Chinaman in China who said that “Communism doesn’t work because if you have no competition, you have no improvement”. This article proves that point.
Yes, believe it or not, a local Chinaman said this to me. He believed that is why so many people suffered during Mao’s period compared to now where China is a lot more lax in their Communist ways and more open to international trade and business. Hence the shifting of our natural resources, wealth and manufacturing companies to China.
Did you ever think of why China has to steal so much? I think we just found out the answer.

Milton Friedman, master of economics, really.
Do a search on him, if not just read a few of the things he has said, you wont be let down.
the italics tag does not work as much as I can tell; help?
How Long is a Chinaman.
Haha!
NOT rocket science, is it.
