That's a fine cutting out of a phrase..that was said along with other phrases.

Obama said that no one in this country builds a business with out the help of infrastructure and community.

He's right.

Even Romney admitted that.

 

[Peach]

Yeah. He really thinks that business owners use infrastructure that they have not personally built. So does anyone with a brain operating their pie hole.

We all benefit from the sacrifices of those before us, and at this time, to preserve the liberties we enjoy. Obama is correct, those who make large amounts of money in the US do so because many served to keep this nation free.

 

[OODA_Loop]

You didn't start this thread without help from Obama.

"In 1929 Federal, state, and municipal governments accounted for about 8 percent of all economic activity in the United States. By the 1960s that figure was between 20 and 25 percent, far exceeding that in India, a socialist country. The National Science Foundation reckoned that federal funds were paying for 90 percent of research in aviation and space travel, 65 percent in electrical and electronic devices, 42 percent in Scientific Instruments, 31 percent in machinery, 28 percent in metal alloys, 24 percent in automobiles, and 20 percent in chemicals." William Manchester "The Glory and the Dream"


No rich man ever made a single dime outside of society. No so called entrepreneur made their wealth in a vacuum from nothing. Obama was right, but the thought does not appeal to the cowboy mentality of the modern right wingnut. Oh, and no cowboy roped a steer before there was a steer to rope, someone made the rope, and someone taught him how to ride the horses.


'It’S Mitt Romney Who Doesn’T Understand America'

"If this country is to continue leading the world both economically and technologically, then someone has to be willing to spend money on silly risks. Someone has to fund a production line for the integrated circuit computers that T.I. can’t see a use for. Someone has to send rockets into space for no other reason than because we can, and because we should see what happens after that. It’s the American way." Romney and Obama on American Inventions : The New Yorker

The rich get rich because of their merit.

"On moral grounds, then, we could argue for a flat income tax of 90 percent to return that wealth to its real owners. In the United States, even a flat tax of 70 percent would support all governmental programs (about half the total tax) and allow payment, with the remainder, of a patrimony of about $8,000 per annum per inhabitant, or $25,000 for a family of three. This would generously leave with the original recipients of the income about three times what, according to my rough guess, they had earned."UBI and the Flat Tax

I know, but I should at least get 4% of the credit.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

The number of failed BANKS dramatically increased during and after the housing crash.

yes the banks paid the price for not seeing the invisible liberal cancer that had been unleashed but remained unseen by all of us.

Still, liberals want to punish them even more than capitalism already did?

It makes no sense except to Marx who the liberals parrot having no idea they are doing his bidding.

Capitalism wiped out half the banks, can the liberals do more? No, but they could regulate or socialisze the system so the next time there will be no corrective capitalism, just soviet inefficiency and stagnation.

 

[Cecilie1200]

your just going to keep lying about what he said no matter what the facts are?


gee imagine my surprise

"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.

"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."

Where did Foxy lie about what he said, precisely?

Suck it up, Obama worshipper. He fucked up.

And while we're on the subject of you leftists desperately twisting and squirming and spinning to say, "Conservatives are taking it out of context. They're reading into it. It doesn't really mean that," go back to the beginning of the thread and look at how many pages it took for leftists to stop telling us how right the President's remarks were (read exactly the way conservatives were reading it) and to start telling us we were "misinterpreting" them. I think when every single person in the world interprets what he said the same way when they first hear it, and it requires a talking-point memo to make you hear it otherwise, there's not really any serious doubt about what he was saying.
