Proof of why capitalism is more fun than socialism

also, i think this brilliant post from last page fits nicely with the video

An economics teacher at a local school made a statement that he
had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an
entire class. That class had insisted that Gillard/Brown socialism
worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a
great
equalizer.

The teacher then said, "OK, we will have an experiment
in this class on the Gillard/Brown 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 teacher 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. (Please pass this
on)



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.

Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.

quad retardation need quad post

the above was jwmwows post, wheres gnartron by the way?

Not saying i'm a socialist but ofc it wouldn't work if there were people who didn't get the ideology and started freeloading off the rich. For it to work everyone must get it and make a collective effort. So yea, its very difficult to get it working successfully and peacefully.

youre an idiot

my  bad your an idiot. look at venezuela
