Study Proves Socialism is Detrimental to Morality



A recent study confirmed what most of us have known for years:  Socialists are liars and cheats.  Anyone who has watched the Democratic Party and their media lapdogs can testify to that.  This irrefutable truth was confirmed by a study conducted by Duke University and the University of Munich.  Researchers used dice to demonstrate the corrupting influence of socialism.

CNSNews.com reported the following:

Researchers compared 259 participants' willingness to lie and cheat by playing a simple game that could earn them $8. Every game player was asked to throw a pair of dice 40 times and record every roll of the dice on paper. Those with the highest tallies would have the highest payoff. Players had to commit to write down the number on either the top or the bottom of the dice. Since they didn't have to say which side they had chosen, it was easy to cheat by rolling the dice and then pretending the higher number was the side they had chosen.
The Economist says:

Honest participants would be expected to roll ones, twos and threes as often as fours, fives and sixes. But that did not happen: the sheets handed in had a suspiciously large share of high numbers, suggesting many players had cheated.
After the game, participants wrote down where they grew up, and for how long they had lived there. Those who grew up in East Germany were twice as likely to cheat as those who grew up in capitalism in West Germany. And, the longer someone had lived in East Germany, the more likely they were to lie about the result of their dice rolls.
"We interpret our findings as evidence that the political regime of socialism has a lasting impact on citizens' basic morality," say the study's authors Ariely, Garcia-Rada, Hornuf and Mann.

A hundred years of progressive policies and jurisprudence are having the same impact on Americans.
