Great Rush Limbaugh Guest.....

I heard this on Rush and it made so much sense (common sense) that I had to share.....


Husband Teaches Wife a Lesson
October 7, 2009

RUSH: Nashville, Tennessee, this is Tim. I'm glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Hey! How are you doing?

RUSH: Very well, sir, thank you.

CALLER: All right. My wife had a hard time trying to understand why Obama's plan to "spread the wealth" was unfair. She couldn't see (sigh), you know, what was wrong with taking from those who have and giving to those who don't have so what I did was I simplified it for her. She's a woman that prides herself on education. She's working on a Ph.D.at Vanderbilt and she makes excellent grades CALLER: Now, I told her, I said --

RUSH: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You are depressing me. Your wife's a Ph.D., working on a Ph.D., she makes excellent grades.

CALLER: Yes, and we have four kids.

RUSH: No, it makes total sense that she would think what she thinks because the culture she's immersed herself in, academia, is teaching her this stuff.

CALLER: (laughing) Well, let me finish. Let me show you what I did.

RUSH: Yes. Sorry for the interruption.

CALLER: That's okay. Let me just show you what I did to bring her around. I said, "You know, what if you made a hundred on a test and another guy in your class made a 60? This guy is a failing mark and you have a high passing mark. Would it be fair to say 20 of your points, bring you down to an 80, give the 20 to the guy that made the 60 and bring him up to 80 and everything is equal?" She said, "No." I said, "Why?" She said, "Because I earned that grade." I said, "Don't you think rich people earned the money that they get?" And so she was speechless. She couldn't say anything. She'd said, "No, I earned it." I said, "Think about it, baby. "You're bringing a guy up from a failing grade to a passing grade, and we're gonna bring you down to his level." I said, "Now you apply that type of example with everybody in the classroom, everybody being the dumber. Nobody would ever get out of your class because everybody would have a failing grade." So she then understood the point I was trying to make. Sometimes you have to use other examples to get other people to think, you know, to try to get the point across of what you're trying to say. That's all I wanted to say.

RUSH: Well, you did a great job out there I don't know how much you made her "think" as you made her "realize."

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: But I need to ask you something, Tim.

CALLER: Go ahead.

RUSH: Has this conversion held? Does she still get it now that you've explained it to her.

CALLER: She gets it but she hates it.

RUSH: Well, I tell you, if she goes back to class where she's studying for her Ph.D. and she runs this story either by a fellow student -- or even worse, a professor -- the professor will say, "Well, here's what you shoulda said when your husband posed this question: 'The people who have a lot of people money didn't earn it. They have stolen it.'" This is Obama's belief.
