I hate it when those ^ posts start at the bottom of the page under the appropriate post, then end up first on the next page.
As pointed out earlier, all buisness have roads, bridges, police. Not to mention business owners and employees are all paying taxes FOR all those things.
If government provided services and infrastructure are responsible for a business' success, are they not also accountable for failures of business?
They're both right really, and of course the context of Obama's statement that's being used isn't completely accurate.
Only the partisans will take one side on this issue.

You are setting a false bar. Yes Society, even Government builds Infrastructure. There is discovery, Invention, that we all benefit from. I thank God for it every day. Taking credit for things one had no part in, is a sham. Should we now bow to the Alter of Government in thanks for the Roads we paid for, Electricity, in door plumbing, Cable TV and the Internet? Society played a role, Government played a role, Individual Merit and ingenuity played a role.
There is Divine Inspiration, Vision, do you want to tax and take credit for these too??? I think that Government needs to stand more out of the way, and further, show cause, when it needs to intervene, while knowing it's limits. You have a problem with that? .... Good. You need to get checked.
The part in bold is basically my point.
Nobody does anything without help of some kind, which is Obama's point. But as Romney said, having those things doesn't promise a successful business either.
So they're both correct in a way.
Oh you are full of it!
Every time a liberal's comments blow up in his face, the common refrain is "he was taken out of context."
What's out of context?
We heard exactly what Obama said.
President Obama: If you've got a business -- you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen - YouTube
There isn't ANYTHING being taken out of context. Go push that BS somewhere else!
Doesn't have to be a Liberal to be taken out of context, remember, I'm not a partisan hack.
Just because you think you are not a hack does not prove you aren't.

Sorry, but that was NOT Obama's point, nor was it what he said. That's just the backpedal he put out for his supporters to run with.
And before you bore me with your "I'm not an Obama supporter!" defensiveness, I neither know nor give a shit if you are or if you're just extremely gullible and susceptible to liberal spin. Not my problem.
Republicans pouncing on Obama's 'you didn't build that' remark - latimes.com
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help, Obama said. 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 youve got a business -- you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen.
prove the business owners built the roads and bridges you lying sacks of shit

because the republican party cant win if they tell the truth
Truthmatters, now you see why I dont argue with them, every argument comes back to
"Obama is Black, we dont want a Black Democrat as Prez"
"We know there is not a single reason for our position, we know it is entirely and completely about race, we just dont know why you dumb liberals cant figure that out"
These Hands - YouTube
Romney also did something with four small business owners, and one of them put it best:
"If roads, bridges, and sidewalks were the reason my business is a success, then ALL Businesses would be a success, because they all have road, bridges, and sidewalks."
But that isn't the case. It's hard WORK and risk that makes a business a success.
Obama who hasn't had a real job in his LIFE, sits in judgement of those who do? And he's backed up by union thugs who have never worked in the private sector IN THEIR LIVES!
I love it! It's about time Romney got a clue about who Obama is and started fighting back!
This is a fucking insult. It was meant to be an insult. It was an insult to lay a smackdown by the President against business owners.
You cannot crawfish out of this for him. Read the words carefully. Stop crawfish. He meant it. He just didn't expect the blowback.
And by the way, that fake First Nations Warren espouses the same philosophy.
If youve been successful, you didnt get there on your own, Obama said. Im always struck by people who think it must be because I was so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there.
Another common thought is that it must be because I worked harder than everybody else, Obama said.
If you have a business, you didnt build that, somebody else made that happen.
If you have a better canidate then fine, bring them on. Otherwise step the fuck away from the table. This is the United States of America.
The teen manager of a local 7/11 would be better suited to be President than Obama because at least the teen manager knows how to balance the till at night.
No person ever did all by their self. Roads are built with taxes. Bridges are built with taxes. You use those roads and bridges, then you are benefiting from the work done by others.
