So I guess since you believe obama was wrong in what he said that you believe every business in the US built their own roads and invented their own vehicles to distribute their goods. That seems pretty crazy to me, but I guess that is what you find to be true.

everything built was built off the backs of business success. The success came first. It generated revenue that was later used to build the roads.

Obama made a point to give government some credit for their success, but failed to point out that government only takes from people that succeed though, so it was still individual success that made things happen. His big government back pats missed the point entirely.

It's his opinion, TNE. That's what this board is all about, after all. There's another poster who frequently invokes the "LIE" argument. It's not very successful for her either.

There are most certainly people in living in the Amazon. So the customers are there.

When Obama said "you didn't build it" it showed a lot about his ideology and what he really believes about government.

what he did not say, but is pretty obvious, is the natural follow on to "you didn't build it". If you didn't build it, then its not yours and you have to share it with everyone else. This is marxist collectivist thinking, no personal property, everything owned by everyone and an overbearing government that decides who gets what.

Think, people, is this the America you want your kids living in?

It amazes me that the GOP and its followers are doing this Homer Simpson moment over and over again.

The comments are taken out of context and the GOP knows this and the public that bothers to waste a minute of their time to look at the whole comment.. knows that.

And as usual the GOP cant practice what it preaches. Look at the GOP convention in Tampa.. it is a socialist's wet dream! Not only is the convention heavily subsidised by the feds, but it is being held in a building that was funded by... public money!

Nowhere was there a "in my opinion" or something like it. Sorry, but when you post something as fact, and you know it's not true, that's a lie.

I guess a poison dart manufacturer would not need any roads or infrastructure. all the raw materials are there and his customers are out in the nearby jungle.

you mean govenrment elections are socialized? This is a really great point Pete....if you were in a debate with anarchists.

You need Obama and his government to tell and guide you through life, as most on the left also see it that way. We on the other hand want government out of our lives, we enjoy our freedom and liberty. Something you don't cherish, but rather cherish government to be your keeper.

Its the first (er second) step. socialism takes over gradually, while you are sleeping. Funny how the great socialist societies of the USSR and China are moving towards capitalism while we are moving toward socialism. Wonder who has it right?

Only under the constitution. and that is being ignored today. The government will become your master if you are not careful.

No, I mean the GOP are a bunch of hypocrites. THEY choose to use the arena that was built by public money. THEY choose to accept the 50 million in public funding... They did not build the arena... the public did, they did not fund the security and other parts... the public did!... hypocrites!

So in other words, Obama didn't say what you claimed. So you LIED and then also inserted a bunch of doom and gloom righty. Wow what a shocker there. Some cons are so intellectually dishonest.

If the country helped you generate those profits through it's vast infrastructure, then yes, some of those profits are owned to the government of that country. And since the government is owned by the people, then yes, the companies owe the people. Without the collective income financing those expeditures, they wouldn't be available to support those businesses.

Sorry but you're wrong. Companies including people pay taxes so the government can have the infrastructure ready for all of us. So we don't owe anything else...

Nothing was out of context, my OP just took it to the next logical step in the thought process.

Do you think the GOP is paying a fee to rent the convention hall. That "public money" that built it, came from taxes, right? so why isn't it free for a taxpayer event? same would apply to the dem convention in Charlotte.
 
re: "you didn't build it" the real meaning [W:838]

Sigh...I will say it one last time...What he said was "hey, all you people in this here group that I'm pandering to. YOU really are responsible for the success of those so called 'business owners'. YOU made it all happen. YOU created everything they then exploited for personal gain. YOU are entitled to 'your fair share' of their success because after all...YOU did all the heavy lifting for them. SO...reelect me and I'll make sure you get YOUR fair share."

Thats it...thats all. The rich are only rich because the poor made them that way. It fits every rhetorical cheap pop he has used in the last 2 years. Pay 'your fair share'. Its just a continuation of the pandering to the poor and lower middle income.

OK, enough of your juvenile insults, if you cannot participate in the discussion like an adult, leave because you are making a fool of yourself. If the concept of the OP is too complex for your simple mind, then you need to focus on some remedial education instead of looking like an idiot on an internet message board.

LOL so you admire the mafia style economic systems of Russia and China? Is that your ideal economic system.. a system where the few elite rich and powerful rule over the masses?

Oh and USSR.. you do realize that it is not around any more? Or has the RNC talking points not pointed this out yet?

I admire the fact that they have realized that socialism will never work and are gradually moving towards capitalism. Do you think thats a bad thing?

The system the obama is trying to put in place in the US would be a system where a tiny group of super elites control all the money and all the power, and everyone else is EQUALLY miserable

I dont care if they are paying a fee to rent the convention hall it is not the point.

The convention hall was funded by the PUBLIC, something that the GOP thinks is evil and does not create jobs or anything of benefit.

Their whole attack on Obama on the "comment" is based on the idea that the public sector can not create wealth or jobs and does not "matter"... and yet here are they benefiting from public sector works and funding! Hypocrites!

They should have chosen a non hurricane city (come on.. did they not learn the last time?), and a venue not funded by public money! They should also have refused public funding period. Their whole policy background is that private is good, government is bad.. and yet here they have no problem sucking at the tit of the public purses.

How can people take them seriously when they claim one thing, and do the opposite? Just like the GOP being against stimulus funds, but when it comes to opening public works funded by stimulus funds, they have no problem standing in front of the media with a big scissor or a big check... pathetic hypocrites.
