My apologies ma'am. I should have noticed that. Not meaning to derail the thread but the "You didn't build that," context was delivered to point out that the nation, it's education systems, infrastructure, security agencies, sets up business owners to succeed and it was mostly all built with public tax dollars. If someone is to take advantage of these things, by hiring educated workers, using highways and airports, utilizing police forces to protect their assets, etc., and profit thereby, there is a certain obligation to "pay back," for these services. I can produce the speech in it's entirety if you need me to.
It was not meant to say that successful people did not deserve or work for their success. It merely pointed out that without these systems in place, chance are their success would be minimized. But that is what the partisans wanted us to believe he meant. They did that by using a clip from this sentence and a clip from that sentence and giving a partial overview of what was actually said.
Point is, in today's political environment, taking things out of context, often to the point of it almost becoming an outright lie, is common practice in today's politics. The democrats used Romney's "47%" comments and did the very same thing as the republicans did to Obama's "You didn't build that," comment.
Again, my apologies for my gender error. Have a wonderful day Ms. Borrachos. :2wave:
