Two men, each owning 10 acres of land decide to plant potatoes. The first
is just an average guy, works his fields, produces 100,000 pounds of spuds and manages to make ends meet for him and his family. He is happy. The second is a real go-getter. Works his fields from dawn to dusk and often beyond. He yields a crop of 500,000 pounds. His family is lucky because of his hard work. They are able to enjoy some extras in life. Every year they take an exciting vacation, put a little aside for the future, and are content with their position in life.This is a scenario that could easily occur in the U.S. Now take the same 2 men in a socialistic society. Most likely they wouldn't own the land. Their job, according to the gov't is to raise potatoes for the benefit of the citizens of their country. At the end of the year man #1 and man #2 have done as described above. Man #2 is profusely thanked for his efforts by the gov't, but his status in life is no better than man #1. He gets no fancy vacation or set-aside money for his future. He has just helped make his fellow man's lives better. How hard do you think he will work in the second year? Current policies talked about by Mr. Obama will lead this country in that direction. Once again, take the same 2 men and put them in Mr. Obamas idea of America. Same production out of the 2 men. Farmer #1 makes about $75,000 and lives a nice life, comfortable but not an easy life by any means. Farmer#2 makes about $375,000 and is happy that his efforts let him afford a few luxuries and ensure his families future. Unfortunately, Mr Obama comes along and tells him that farmer #1 has needs beyond his means and you will have to give him some of your money so things are a little more fair. And the bad thing is, all the g-d d-mn liberal dem's in this country think this is the fair thing to do. Even if you don't believe this is fair you vote for the candidares that will institute this kind of life. Don' even bother with the expected comeback. I'm sure the amount of potatoes and the expected $$ return figures aren't accurate. But plug in accurate numbers and you get the same results. Spread the (SOCIALISM AT IT'S BEST) wealth. |
