Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House. He was carrying a baby piglet under each arm. The highly squared away Marine guard snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "Nice pigs, sir."
The President replied, "These are not pigs. These are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi."
The Marine again snapped to attention, saluted, and said "Excellent trade, sir."

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that 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 socialism.
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. But, 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, 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.
Couldn’t be any simpler than that....

If you are politically sensitive you may not want to view.
