THIS IS SIMPLE ... EVEN FOR LIBERALS !
"This teacher is truly a genius!
As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
This man is truly a genius!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once 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 would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A...
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.
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.
All failed, to their great surprise, 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.
Could not be any simpler than that.

Excellent! In the 70's, I worked in a plant where an all salaried work force concept was used. The intent was to pay for performance (quality, safety, productivity, etc.). Two employees might be doing the same job but one might be making several dollars a month higher pay.
When it was time to consider candidates for promotion to higher paying jobs in maintenance, control panels, etc., several criteria were used - service time, safety record, absenteeism, education, skills, attitude, etc. Candidates were selected by a panel from manufacturing, peers, HR. This method helped to insure that the higher caliber employees competed for the top jobs and pay.
This concept worked very good. Employee's who wanted to do the minimum acceptable did not receive the same compensation as those who wanted to excel.

Performance-based pay.... To bad it is just not fair. Does not fit in with the Socialist/Marxist way of lazy, I mean life.
