Making The Grade

.
A Follower in Texas sent me this and I thought I'd pass it on. I did shorten it up a bit, hopefully without distorting the message.

An economics class at Texas Tech told their professor that they believed socialism works because it ensures that no one would be rich and no one would be poor. The professor, as an experiment, applied socialism to his teaching method to show the class the effects of socialism.

The professor then told the class that all grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade. No one would fail and no one would receive an A.

The grades from the first test were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
.
On the second test, 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.

The 3rd test average was an F. All failed, to their great surprise. The professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great; but when reward is taken away; no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.

Well, maybe there is more to Texas than beautiful women, country music, Nascar, and bow legged cowboys!
