This story of socialism's ideology is a little old, as it has been around for awhile, but non the less it rings a bell for the reality of what's happening everyday in our country, and how it has and is having a disastrous effect on our economy and our way of life.
Don't be fooled by the progressives socialist's agenda, taking from the productive to give to the unproductive, never ever is a solution for prosperity. This only works for the tyranny of the few that run the show. And so far it is working perfectly for the few. Worse, 10's of millions of voters believe it is the right thing to do, that is until they find themselves in the enviable bread line.
Gruber is right. Even then they will have no clue how or why they are there.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked well since no one would be poor and no one would be rich, thus providing a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on the Socialist plan".... All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
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 likewise studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one was motivated to study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward (and risk) is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will work really hard to succeed.
