Yeah, this gets the point across as well. Some people just don’t think everyone should work for what they get. ---

One of the teachers at daycare asked me why Jillian called the duck in the little red hen “Ted Kennedy”. I tell a similar version anytime she brings me that book to read to her. True story. ---

It’s sad that our kids will be strapped with our burden. Its supposed to go the other way. They are supposed to be strapped with burdens of their own making. “What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.” - Adrian Rogers I received this one from my red mail spammer friend. Its along the same lines and probably totally made up. > An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, > but had once 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 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. > > 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… > > 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. > > 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. > > Could not be any simpler than that. ---
