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.
Obama is NOT right!
Entenpreners have been making sucesses of themselves in this country BEFORE THOSE ROADS AND BRIDGES.
And it if weren't for their inovations THOSE ROADS AND BRIDGES WOULDN'T EXIST!
You think government came up with the idea?
Even with the internet, it started as a military project. That part of government Obama loathes as much as Bill Clinton!
Yeah, in fact some of the first highly lucrative businesses were the ones that built the first interstate transportation systems, the railroads.
aND GUESS WHAT! Those railroads were built BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE!
People who saw a market in moving people.
HowStuffWorks "The Early Railroad Industry"By the 1840s, the ultimate form of the nineteenth-century American railroad was beginning to emerge. Many lines had started out as government-assisted works or as joint ventures between local governments and private investors. It soon became apparent that there was so much money to be made in railroading that the private sector could go it alone.
And it wasn't until government was pushed out that the move to make a rail that went from one end of the country to the other, really began.
But it was an answer to a market that entenpreneurs saw and too advantage of.
So, you are DEAD WRONG AGAIN!
