THE GREAT SYSTEM

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, thus a
great equalizer.
The professor then said okay, 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 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.
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 very 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 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.....
