Es muy complicado de entender?

Not bad

Me había llegado por mail en castellano y aplicado a la actualidad argentina, pero ahora lo vi de nuevo, con la situacion de EE.UU y el plan de Obambi.
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.

Even better

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.

  1. Lo había leído en castellano, creo.

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

    No sé cómo lo ven ustedes, pero en ese sentido hay un paralelismo entre la situación de la Argentina con el auge de los precios de los commodities y la de EE.UU. con la capacidad de emitir dólares, la moneda del mundo de hecho.

    Muchos políticos tienen la muy peligrosa ilusión de que no es tan así, que el estado/gobierno SÍ puede generar riqueza, sí puede darte algo que no le haya sacado a alguien antes.
