President Obama's stupid remarks say a lot about how he thinks about business and businessmen. Those words will haunt him every day up until the election.
Not hard to believe that someone like he feels that way, I mean he graduated from Harvard Law and made the Review despite achieving no educational distinction, he's President without ever having to hold or perform at a job, he won the Nobel Prize without doing anything-probably would make anyone think that way, right?

We have socially provided the path that some of you think you did all on your own.

It's pretty much untouchable, LMAO! You didn't build your business or work your ass off or put your own blood and sweat into your business, we gave you roads! Really?
Man I heard exactly what Obummer said, he said it and he meant it, he is that stupid. No need for me to post any more in this one. It pretty much stands on it's own.
Actually you don't have to read it was a video and the words came right out of his mouth in the usual smart Alec way.
EVERYBODY uses roads, even those that don't "achieve". For Christ's sake, Ted Bundy used the roads and the telephone and watched TV too-do we all get to share the credit for his achievements?
Besides, it's a stupid strawman argument, anyway. Are serious Republicans advocating for discontinuing government road building? Eliminating public education funding?, Putting a halt to public funding of research and development?
If you put all of the Federal funding for all of that stuff. it's probably not even 1/3 of the budget.

Of course you don't.
I saw the whole speech and those comments were stupid, he'll spend the next several months try to put them back into his mouth.
Strong words from someone like you! Vital's foremost authority on partisan haackery!
Explain it to me, what did he say that I didn't understand?
The point I am making is that we socially provide a network for each other to succeed. Nobody is on an island, and nobody did it ALL BY THEMSELVES. We ALL benefit from the social resources that we share the costs on.
You know this and I know this. You are trying to make an argument out of something that Obama did not say. Much like those who said that "he" took all the credit for killing Osama bin Laden.
Neither are truthful arguments. Either you are an idiot, or a liar. Which is it?
I'll let you choose.
Who has said that they did it ALL BY THEMSELVES without benefit of roads, teachers or telephones?
Help me out.
But you know what, I’m not going to see us gut the investments that grow our economy to give tax breaks to me or Mr. Romney or folks who don’t need them. So I’m going to reduce the deficit in a balanced way. [...]
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Pit Row
High taxes stifle innovation, prevent saving, destroy production, crush the middle class and the poor, and discourage investment. Every American is entitled to the fruits of his labor, especially during these tough economic times. Lowering taxes will leave you more money to take care of yourself and your family, and it will allow businesses greater opportunities to hire new workers, increase current salaries, and expand their companies.
I believe they do, by the way-I just want to see if we're on the same wavelength.
Now that I make $70,000, but have my mortgage interest write-off, I get refunds.
The "poor" cannot manipulate the "system" like the have's can.......
