Re: Obama to business owners: "You didn't build that."
Obama leans right? I think this just shows just how off center YOU are. LOL. The line that has Obama to the right of center is a slanted one.
If you own a business, you didn't build that. This is factually incorrect in my case. Looking at it in context, it can AT LEAST be said that Obama feels that, if you own a business, the help you received from others played a more powerful role in YOUR success than your own efforts did. While (I guess) this could be considered subjective and not factually provable, there is NO doubt that it is controversial. More, even, than controversial- combined with Obamacare, IMO Obama is bleeding independent, moderate, libertarian, and other swing voters.
I think the President's error is his belief that the philosophies and policies that he promotes and supports foster these "symbiotic relationships" which actually do increase opportunity and aid entrepreneurs (such as family, teachers, loans from banks, use of the internet infrastructure).
Actually, his policies and beliefs promote "parasitic relationships" where an organism feeds off of a host without contributing back to the host.
I hate both of the candidates. Obama is not socialist in any way he is somewhere between centre and centre-right. I'm also a social democrat not a socialist.

i fail to see anything in that quote that is factually incorrect or even mildly controversial.
another fox news distortion.

Laborer's aren't the only other part of that community aspect though. Customers are. Other businesses you interact with...from advertising to cooking supplies to farmers etc...all play into it.
Unless you're suggesting you raise your own food, smelt your own metal, create your own silverware, forge your own ceramic plates, built your own building, advertise singularly by your own word of mouth, completely taught yourself how to make the food, burn your own compost to power your resturant, etc.
The Individual and their Environment is a symbiotic relationship. How the individual works and how that environment functions can be changed, arguments can be made with how much impact each may have at any given time, but the reality is that if you remove either component to that relationship the other does not survive in the manner that it is at the current point in time.
