"You cannot make the weak strong by making the strong weak!"

Abraham Lincoln said the same as Dr. Rodgers when he proclaimed "You cannot make the weak strong by making the strong weak!"


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 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.

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 the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

85% Of Young People Would Be More Inclined To Go Into Politics If They Had More Information

85% Of Young People Would Be More Inclined To Go Into Politics If They Had More Information:

"PoliticsUnder30.org, an effort by GW’s Graduate School of Political Management to support young people in politics, was recently launched to “help the young people of today become the political leaders of tomorrow,” said F. Christopher Arterton, dean of the school and professor of political management, of media and of advanced strategy. The Web site is targeted toward political science undergraduates across the country but will benefit students and professionals outside that group.
PoliticsUnder30.org was founded because the Graduate School of Political Management saw a need to educate and support young people pursuing a profession in politics. The Web site will include a range of interviews with speechwriters, members of Congress, lobbyists, elected officials, campaign managers, candidates and others. Viewers will have the opportunity to submit questions for video interviews, ensuring the site's content is targeted and relevant. There will also be an up-to-date job and event listing, including White House career guides and Capitol Hill staff structure charts.
As the poll suggests, access to a Web site with political career advice, information and listings, will help undergraduates navigate the D.C. political arena. Most importantly, this type of outlet does not currently exist. While there is a wealth of career resources available for young doctors and lawyers, no site to date has met the needs of aspiring politicos.
The George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management seeks to improve politics by educating its students and professionals in the tools, principles and values of participatory democracy, preparing them for careers as ethical and effective advocates and leaders at the international, national and local levels.
