All the left can do is scream "OUT OF CONTEXT!!!!." Apparently they can un-hear what we all heard. Apparently they think only racists can't un-hear what was clearly said. Actually I chalk this up to another Obama gaff caused by lack of experience growing up in academia.
Didn't Build That - YouTube
A lot of men died protecting this great nation. They defeated Hitler to give you freedom. Then, when they got home, Big Government put them to work building this nation's infrastructure.
Every ******* dollar made in this country would not exist without the sacrifices of the great men and women who defended and built this country. [Dwight Eisenhower - a great Republican President - put our veterans to work building roads and expanding suburbs. Those men worked hard for you. Do you know the multiplies effect
for business of Eisenhower's Interstate system?] Point is: today's capitalists don't want to acknowledge government's role in keeping their businesses safe (... do you know how much our legal system costs? Do you know who runs it and how much business requires it to safeguard and protect their transactions/property? Do you know government's role in supplying the roads and energy grids upon which profit depends? Not one ******* red penny could be made in the Southwest without the Hoover Dam.
My grandfather died in WWII so future generations could have the freedom to make money in the first place. How dare you shit on their sacrifices.
The world of profit was built on top of the corpses of those who died for your freedom. So yes, you didn't build that all by yourself. They helped.
The 80s consumer electronics boom was fueled by technology that came out of the Cold War Pentagon and NASA. Commercial Aviation would not exist without government subsidies and research. Do you even know the history of Boeing?
Capital accumulation depends on the modern industrial state.
Did you ever read the labels on the stuff you buy? You will discover that much of it is made in dangerous parts of the world. Who do you think stabilizes those places so wealthy American investors can profit from cheap labor and raw material? Answer: Big Government, i.e., the Pentagon.
John Gault would not exist without the BIG GOVERNMENT soldiers who died for him. He wouldn't exist without roads and energy grids and dams and all the infrastructure that goes into the modern industrial state. He wouldn't exist without the MASSIVE law enforcement costs which go into protecting his property and transaction. He wouldn't exist without subsidies and bailouts and FDIC insurance on his bank holdings. John Gault craves big government - that's why he lobbies incessantly for the help of Big Brother.
You didn't build that. You had help. And by denying that help, you have indeed lowered your taxes . . . as bridges crumble and schools close while a wealthy elite ships your job to China. ******* morons.
