All Your Business Are Belong To Us

And if you just made a plate of nachos, you didn't build that either.

If anyone was wondering whether or not Obama was really a lefty-socialist moon bat or not, he did you a favor recently and opened his mouth successfully removing all doubt. If you haven't heard yet what it is he said:

“There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back,” the president said. “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,” he said. “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.”

Yup. He said all that. But not on his own. He had help. Somewhere along the way there were teachers, like Karl Marx, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright, who helped him fine tune his idiocy. Obama done stepped in it now. He is telling everyone that the American Dream itself, which is that through hard work, individualism, and freedom, success can be obtained by all, is hogwash, and any and all success can only be obtained through government. And that if you are successful, you owe the government compensation for it.

 

Leftists like Obama can only engage in ambiguous rhetoric for so long. When they begin to feel pressure, and are faced with the prospect of losing their tenuous grip on power, they tend to act like a computer program that is designed for measuring seismic anomalies, but is being used for sonar analysis on a submarine. When they get confused they tend to run home to mama. Mama being socialism.

Looks like Obama is running home to mama, sea man Beaumont

There are a couple of problems with Obama's statements though. I'll list them:

1. The internet was not invented so that companies could make money. It was invented as a tool for sharing research data between labs and universities. Companies found a way to use the internet for business...all on their own.

2. The internet was, according to Al Gore, invented by one person: him. So he and Obama need to talk that one out.

3. I don't think that anyone could deny that any person that has been successful has had help along the way. But help and doing the work yourself are two different things. Just because you show a man how to build something, doesn't mean you can take credit for his building it as if you did so yourself.

4. Teachers? Really? Are these the same teachers that apparently have a problem simply teaching kids to read and do simple mathematics? The numbers don't lie...public education is not a contributing factor to anyone's success.

5. Saying that business has had no impact on the building of "roads and bridges" is ludicrous. Construction companies are the ones that build that stuff. Paid for with tax money, much of which comes from taxes on business. Just because the businesses didn't make the decision to build those things, doesn't mean they weren't the ones who actually did build them. Because they were.

6. If there are so many smart people, why are you in office Obama? And if there are so many hard working people, then why are so many Americans on the government dole, Mr. Food Stamp?

7. No successful business person thinks their success "must have" been a result of their being really smart you ninny. They don't think in terms of "must've". They know exactly why they were successful, and can list the many years of hard work and sacrifice to become so. Since you've never started nor run a business, nor have you ever worked a real job, you've got no business assuming what successful business people think.

The reason, Sir Fails-a-lot, that there are so many successful Americans in business is despite government, not because of it. Business has enjoyed such a fertile environment because America was founded on the idea that government should stay out of the individual's way to create success for themselves. Your type of government, you stuttering catastrophe of a miserable failure, is one in which businesses will wither and die. And since a lot have been doing just that in the past four years, I think the results speak for themselves.

The bottom line here, you ignorant whelp, is that you've no business speaking about business at all, and this latest garbage speech of yours simply proves it.
