Socialism-doesn't work!

My husband heard this analogy from someone. I think it actually happened but a teacher had a debate with some of his students about socialism and how it doesn't work. The students tried to convince him that it did. The class decided to allow this teacher to try an experiment with them to prove that he was right. He told them one day that they were all going to get the same grade. What he did was average the total grades out and whatever that came out to be, that's what everyone got. Everyone got a "C". I think the message was sent pretty clearly when the students with A's who worked and studied hard for their grades now had to share that grade with an "F" student who did nothing. Of course the F students were happy but now since the A students saw that their hard work was only going to be given to the slacker's, they no longer wanted to bother working for that A. Low and behold, the reason why socialism DOESN'T work! It really is that plain and simple.
