The Perfect Example
This is an example of how socialism works: A successful business man called the Limbaugh Show; he told Rush about this discussion with his Liberal Democrat wife. He said that his wife, who is studying to be a Doctor, was talking about the Obama programs and his fairness through socialism/ medical and such and the fairness of taxing the rich and income redistribution. He said he asked his wife, who studies hard and gets great marks, that if she studied for an exam with a passing grade at 80% and she got a 100% does she think it would be right for the Professor to take 20 points off her mark and give them to a fellow student who’s mark was only 60%? Her answer was of course, no! He said why, you only needed 80% to pass and you got a 100%, 20% more than required; you don’t need those extra points [profit], he does, so I think it would only be fair to give those who don’t have a passing grade your and other overachiever’s extra points to make them pass! Her answer to this was that if that was the case, she obviously wouldn’t put the same effort into her studies if she knew it would be taken and given to someone else, not only that but it isn’t going to raise the bar of effort or quality of work for those who get her grade points. The truth is, that the same holds true in society, that if you take away from those who through talent or labour have achieved, then those who once worked hard will no longer feel a need to invest time, money or resources bringing everything down to the lower often failure level. Society as a whole suffers as is the case in European countries; who by the way have seen their failures and are electing Conservatives into power.
Am I right? I’m damn write!
