An economics professor at a local college provided an example of Socialism by averaging the class grades on an exam. After the test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
Students that had studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. After the next exam the average was D because those 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 next test averaged F and as the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and the name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, 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.
Remember, there is a test coming up. The mid-term election in 2010!

How ironic to read this Post and hear today that his Dr. Milton (No Dollar Left Unspent) Liverman is retiring for undisclosed reasons. Perhaps he can enjoy his retirement driving a school bus along with retiring HRT President Townes. Both were woefully incapable of their job responsibilities and both milked the system for all it's worth.
