"You Didn't Build It!"

Obama is telling people who started their own business and worked HARD to build it that, “you didn’t build it!” Out of his own mouth he demonstrates his complete LACK of understanding of how business and free enterprise works. He thinks just because the government built roads for those “newfangled cars” to run on AFTER they became ubiquitous, that those road builders were responsible for those roads being built. NOT! It’s just the other way around (as a side comment, those roads were NOT built by government. They were built by private contractors EMPLOYED by the government, using money extorted out of taxpayers). Yes, people who build businesses into large corporations had help. But they PAID for that help and, by so doing, created jobs AND other big corporations, who ALSO hired people, creating MORE jobs. The IDEAS that created the businesses came from an INDIVIDUAL, who pursued his/her dreams and created JOBS for others as a side-effect. Massachusetts liberal Elizabeth Warren, who ALSO doesn’t understand how business works, says people need “infrastructure” built by government in order to succeed. Nay! The government usually builds the infrastructure AFTER the need for it has been long demonstrated. Even CBS News (not a bastion of conservative thought) questions Obama’s thinking.
