		<description>With apologies to all for the redundancy....

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Mr President!!??  Mr President?? In the dictionary under &#039;redundant&#039; it says, &#039;see redundant&#039;...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Robin Wiliams, LIVE AT THE MET

...  it occurred to me that my explanation on why Obama&#039;s redistribution of wealth program will fail would be more appropriate in this commentary..

So, here it is...  :D

&lt;B&gt;Obama&#039;s &quot;redistribution&quot; plan..&lt;/B&gt;

For this, I am going to give you an example of a college economics professor at an upstate New York school of higher education.

This professor&#039;s class had insisted that Obama&#039;s &quot;redistribution of wealth&quot; program can work and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, &quot;OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama&#039;s plan&quot;. 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. Now, 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 redistribution of wealth 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.

The fatal flaw in Obama&#039;s plan is that it fails to take into account human nature. It makes grand assumptions about human beings that just aren&#039;t true.
