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- 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, and gives to those who do nothing, no-one will try or want to succeed.


It could NOT be any simpler than that.


Remember, there IS a test coming up. The next election.




These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You can not 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.

Excellent example Jim.

Problem is Jim

Just who is electable.....

It requires a whole new rethink, that has to start early in any future government, of career politicians before being brainwashed by any outside ideologists, religious or otherwise, and run as a company, society will need a whole set of new values, will it ever happen?? of coarse not there is an inbuilt greed that wont help, a jealousy factor, personal desire to compete, and idiots who will go tits up rather than defend their heritage, there you have it the coundown has begun.

Brilliant Jim!

All 3 main parties have shown their true colours now. I won't be voting for any of them in the future.

Our next chance to vote is for the local council, that is a different kettle of fish, to be fair the Cons have not been that bad, apart from Land juggling to raise a bit of cash, dont know the runners and riders yet, so will reserve final choice until I see what they are all about, and who the independants are, along with what they stand for, will have to make an extreme effort to get along to a Council meet at the big house come election time, and hear how good they are, along with how bad they are from the opposition, and whats on offer.

Aren't you voting for the Mayor Jim?

I'll certainly give Boris another shot, anything to keep ferret face out.

it will be a tactical vote for Boris, its a two horse race, not that I want Boris, but cant stand the weasle in the other corner, he only says what he thinks you want to hear, but when the chips are down he is just as bent as the rest, as I say you vote for one set of crooks or you vote for another set of crooks, and unlike Ken, Boris has not been caught out yet!
