this is stolen.. thanks to the source....

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. It could not be any simpler than that.

Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. 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.

I don't think there are many who will argue a pure socialist economy will work. Like you say the incentives aren't there to work hard. But what many people don't realize is just about every country has mixed economies with elements of socialism and free markets. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. National Defense, fire/police protection, education, food and drug administration, and infrastructure, for example, are all things that a free market would probably not provide adequate funding from the private sector for. There are many that argue that it is an all or nothing debate while they should be looking at whether or not specific programs need gov't funding.

That said, healthcare is a tricky issue; while we all hope that everyone is able to be taken care of if they need it, programs like medicare and medicaid have caused medical costs to become extremely high and is bankrupting us. As the program exists now it is similiar to a ponzi scheme where some unlucky generation will be forced to pay for it for 40+ years and when they retire to try and get their benefits, it wont be there.

he clearly stated his biggest goal at the time was to get this country straightened out, by doing something about spending, about deficit and debt, and get the economy moving again to have a robust growing economy that will benefit all americans-which obama is against all of those points

well to get it straightened out we needed the bailouts that got us in debt!! car companies were on their way out ! forclosures on everybodys houses and unemployment skyrocketing and 2 wars we couldnt pay for all because bush should have stayed on his oil furnished ranch in crawford texas and not in charge of the most powerful country in the world !! fuck he couldnt even pronounce nuclear if u remember right it was and i quote " nuclar"

the auto bail outs did not create our debt only made it worse, we have been in dept for most of our country history, a small national debt is not a problem, but when it is so large and is out of control with no limits, no plan to reduce or stop spending there is a problem

the auto bailouts were not a bug problem as i see it, saved jobs and kept us companies afloat, the US government got stock in the companies

obamas stimulus package was a horrible mistake, cash wasted with not nearly the results promised, companies like solyndra that got cash only to waste it, shovel ready jobs that where fractions of what he said would occur

an unbalanced budget, more people on entitlement programs, obamacare and medicare/medicare are all adding more and more debt

http://www.mediaite.com/online/romneys-solyndra-state-funded-massachusetts-solar-company-goes-bankrupt/

Romney has already done the same thing at a state level.

lol how many years has romney been out of office there? and they have just gone bankrupt, they lasted a while

"Romney, as governor, had provided $1.5 million in a renewable energy subsidy to the company in 2003."

solyndra went bankrupt a year or so after receiving all that cash, and got a little less than 1,000 times that 1.5mil of US tax payer's money

Soooooo then there was this. Man I cant wait for Romney to take office and "Get Americans back to work"!

This is who he is and what he does and stands for. The taxes he did show were from Interest off of companies like this that he dissected and sent their jobs to China! Killing a whole town in America as we speak. Wait until he gets his hands on the country!

what do u want him to do as someone in business? make bad choices, waste and lose money? he ran a business, a business in which its goal was to make money, he did things to make money, more money than i will ever make, i applaud him for that

as president he will run the government in a successful way, eliminate waste, and provided a better environment for business

how many companies have left the US because of tax rates?

you are kind of contradicting yourself. blaming the current party in office for not providing any jobs, yet you applaud romney for making money by displacing jobs to foreign markets.

where is your proof he can do a good job? im sure the opposition has proof he will do a poor job at that

how many companies have factories and/or assemble in mexico? how many of your multi-billion corporations and conglomerates have sweat shops, i mean factories in Asia? instead of paying fair and competitive wages in the domestic market, they outsource to maximize profit so they can pay themselves their millions in bonuses.
