"If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Spoken by someone who clearly never built anything.

It's easy to take a statement like that, standing alone, seem like something it was never intended to represent. But when the full context is revealed, so is the truth.

Here is the quote in its full context"

"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that [the roads and bridges]. Somebody else made that happen."

Some folks might think you don't know what the phuck you're talking about. But, hey, I know you must not have done due diligence and checked that out properly, right? You wouldn't try to mislead others on purpose now, would you?

The fact is WE DID BUILD THAT!

The roads and bridges didn't build themselves and the government didn't pay for it out of their own pocket.

Damn, you people are as stupid as the asshat you admire.

Idiot, listen,

The government uses our tax money to build those roads and to regulate a fair market. How the **** do you pay for the road that we all drive on IF it isn't handed out to contractors by our government.

You have no clue. I feel sorry for you.

Now, now, USMB nutters........

You can wait a day or two and you'll have another Obama comment to misrepresent. There is no need to reach back and replay the ones that failed you in the past. Good ol' Mitt and Eddie Munster thought this gem would carry them to the WH. They used it in every stump speech for months. And.......zilch.

I built my business.....but I couldn't have if the roads and bridges and airports that I use weren't there.....if the communications infrastructure that I use daily were less reliable. Being a rational human, I never thought to take those words as an insult to me or my business. I understood them in their full context and agree whole-heatedly.

Major OP fail.

You're a moron. It's an idiotic point. It's like the entrepreneur gets zero credit for busting his ass to build something. NEver mind he's paid taxes out the wazoo. Obama, Liz & Co feel entitled to all of it. No one has misinterpreted Obama's statement. It's pretty clear. If you've got it, he wants it.

I get credit for busting my ass and building something. Nobody has tried to take credit for it. You continue to misrepresent the words.

I pay taxes. But there is no way that the taxes I pay in a year could support the amount of infrastructure that I use in a single day. If not for others also paying taxes.....I'm out of business.

Try to understand something. Anything.

that is something you should try. yaa knoe [SIC] if the foo shits.., wear it.

why are you a liberfool

"You didn't build that". How could Obama have known that those few words would set off a major epidemic of Obama Derangement Syndrome? To bad the disease isn't lethal.

The first outbreak was when Obama was joking about the number of states in the union. But the stupid Obama Derangement Syndrome people have no ******* sense of humor. So they took that comment out of context and have stumbled with it ever since.

Till this comment was made.

You who suffer from ODS, seek help. Or you are gonna waste your lives being stupid.

I'm too busy enjoying the fruits of that which I "didn't build" to waste my life being stupid but I fear my grandkids may not have the opportunity to know the joy and the agony (or enjoy the fruit) of having built something.
To be as stupid as a socialist in America I'll need a radical lobotomy.

We're seeing in this thread the conversation that created the turning point, The Collective over the individual, inspired by Obama's and Warren's remarks. As I mentioned before, that was the moment the Left was emboldened and really found its voice.

The Left will have its way within 20 or 25 years as we move inexorably towards a Euro-social democracy.

‘You Didn’t Build That,’ Uncut and Unedited
Posted on July 23, 2012 | Updated on July 24, 2012
Mitt Romney and his allies have attacked President Barack Obama — often out of context — for saying, “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
American Crossroads posted a 60-second Web video called “Build” that shows small-business owners reacting to Obama’s “you didn’t build that” comment.
The Romney campaign replays Obama saying “if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that” five times in a 15-second video as part of a “petition” drive. It also uses the quote in an email fundraising appeal.
Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts posted a two-and-a-half-minute Web video that juxtaposes the president’s remarks against statements made by other presidents on the importance of free enterprise.
There’s no question Obama inartfully phrased those two sentences, but it’s clear from the context what the president was talking about. He spoke of government — including government-funded education, infrastructure and research — assisting businesses to make what he called “this unbelievable American system that we have.”
In summary, he said: “The point is … that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.”
In Context
Obama made his remarks at a July 13 campaign appearance in Virginia. The president was speaking against Romney’s proposal to retain the Bush-era tax cuts and cut federal tax rates an additional 20 percent across the board for all taxpayers.

Here’s what he said:
Obama, July 13: 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. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the GI Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President — because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.

your bullshit post is just that..., bullfuckingshit

the statement, "you didn't build it" stands as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar

 

[rightwinger]

The fact is WE DID BUILD THAT!

The roads and bridges didn't build themselves and the government didn't pay for it out of their own pocket.

Damn, you people are as stupid as the asshat you admire.

Am I getting that right, is that what you are saying?

Exactly. You and I and everyone else that pays taxes built the roads and bridges etc... So to say "you didn't build that" is disingenuous.

Lets put it into context......"You didn't build that" is a response to the theory that businesses should be protected from paying taxes. Not be required to contribute to those bridges, roads, schools, police, fire protection that they benefit so much from

In addition to its abject ignorance, it's also a statement of intellectual dishonesty. A straw man.

I have never, nor have any of my dozens of business clients, claimed that we do not utilize roads and bridges (a notion insulting by its very existence) to get to work or move materials or anything else.

None of us have ever claimed that people who we hire and employ -- some of whom do more net harm than good -- played a role in increasing the size of the business WE had created.

But that doesn't matter, because intellectual honesty is not a priority here. This is about "you didn't build that, you didn't earn that, give it to us, play by our rules."

At least be honest for a change.

.

It's a justification for imposing more taxes. The Left feels all money ultimately belongs to the government. A nd now they want more of it. That's it pure and simple.

I look at this whole episode -- from Obama's comments to Warren's "roads & bridges" defense of this comments -- as a turning point, a moment in time when the hard Left came out of the closet (at least somewhat) and began to tell us what it is really after. We've been seeing more and more of it since that time.

Creeping Socialism.
Finding it easier to live off the sweat of others some Americans are increasingly and more vehemently demanding gov't redistribution - through taxation - of private property.
Our democracy is devolving into an ineptocracy - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Businesses survive off of the society around them. They need to move goods and services. They need to be accessable to their clients. They need a communications and power infrastructure. They need an educated workforce

[SAYIT]

I hate Obama with a passion, but this quote has been used erroneously since he said it. Obama is something of an enigma; he has intelligence, yet he does not speak well off prompter. This ad-lib of his was clear to me when he stumbled through it the first time. He was talking about the infrastructure, not the business.

Either people are far more stupid than I thought (frightening concept right there) or they are lying to use this as political ammo. Obama is an America hating piece of shit, but this is crap. If we cannot have an honest discussion, all is lost. And apparently all is lost.

Obama is my prez but others in his camp have used that line to say exactly what it seems to say ... even if he didn't mean it that way. It's as ignorant a concept as any American socialist has ever floated.

Business pay more for the right to move their goods around than the rest of you. Businesses in general pay higher utility rates and higher and more taxes than the rest of you.

Seems to me you people should be thanking people who take risks so as to contribute more than the rest of you who refuse to take risks.

"You didn't build that", "you didn't earn that", "you don't deserve that" is a much, much easier sell now than it used to be. We've created a far larger dependent class, and those who have a vested interest in dividing us have been very very good at their job.

Work hard, bust your ass, make sacrifices, take risks, learn from your failures, don't give up -- nah, that's too hard. If that guy over there has more than you, it's because he stole it, or stepped over someone to get it, or because the color of his skin, or he got lucky, or he cheated, or had it given to him. Those are the only possibilities. **** it, let's just all share.

THAT'S a much easier sale, and that's where we're going.
