"You didn't get there on your own"

[LeftofLeft]

Obama is an ideological idiot. He has never actually had a private sector job. He couldn't run a business- except into the ground, if you paid him. His statement reveals how he sees the world. The "government" in his world belongs to the political class and not to the people...I mean WTF financially supports the government, but tax payers.

I have run a business. Several in fact. Successfully if I may be allowed to brag a bit.

And Obama is correct. I didnt go from start up to success on my own. I had help. I had good employees who were educated on someone elses tax money. I had roads on which supplies and customers came into my business and on which product was shipped out. I pay my employees a fair wage but I always need them to produce more value than I am investing in them or I do not profit.

For people to pretend that they dont understand how our economic well being is interconnected to one another AFTER the housing crisis took down our entire economy is just plain deception.

You just contradicted yourself at the expense of your unbridled partisanship. Actually, you are not allowed to brag about it nor use the word "I". based on your own logic, 10 Times you use a pronoun to refer to yourself and not once did you refer to the collective "We". You are so full of shit.

 

[Zxereus]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh shit !
I should have never admitted I have a 4% stake in this !
Now the Dems have a specific amount that they can go after me with !
I wonder what the tax liability will be for 4% ownership of this thread ?

Romney is one of those unique people that was born without parents. Seeing that there was work to be done, Romney set out into the wilds. He killed his first buffalo with his bare hands and made a fine suit out of it. Then..with his broad shoulders and huge hands..Romney pulled trees from the ground and fashioned himself a house. Using some of the left over wood and stone..Romney made a pick ax..so that he may mine the earth for materials. Romney smelted steel and built the his first sky scraper. He called it the tower of Bain.

The rest is history.

Then you should be well aware that excessive government regulations and tax laws were the biggest impediment to your success.

 

[Trajan]

Said what?

This.

If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that.

That's a fine cutting out of a phrase..that was said along with other phrases.

Obama said that no one in this country builds a business with out the help of infrastructure and community.

He's right.

Even Romney admitted that.

uh huh read his whole statement and this, most especially is telling;

"Roads and bridges" is plural; "that" is singular. he should have said, "You didn't build those."But he didn't becasue his whole statement speaks to to the punchline.


suck it up, hes spoken the truth, again and should have used a teleprompter.

your brain is broken,

if so why be so afraid to give your best example for the whole world to see? what does your fear tell you?

While all of that is true, he didn't build the thread that he used to sew his fine suit with.

 

[Trajan]

Another lying you didn't get there on your own thread that isn't merged the way threads that criticize Romney are.

not that anyone is complaining.

nothing in life, or message boarding is fair

how many of your alike threads were merged? not many, suck it up, move along.

 

[Zxereus]

there isnt a single issue, not one, where righty is right and lefty is wrong

not one

how about when the left spied for Stalin and gave him the bomb??????


See why we are 100% positive a liberal will be slow, very slow??

your brain is broken, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, you really dont, and I suggest you just sit back and google "funny videos" or something...really

Oh yeah ? My brain may be broken, but your Bain is broken !

The rest is history.

And most importantly he is the better choice of the two for the next four years.

more to the point it should be inter connected through peaceful voluntary Republican capitalist relationships that are not violently transgressed through government tax and regulatory violence.

The 1929 depression and this liberal depression ought to be enough evidence for you.

how well would your business be doing out in the middle of a forrest without any infrastructure?

Someone should really read you the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder, so you can get over this obsessive modern-day-only viewpoint on life.

Furthermore, expecting businesses to "thank" government for providing services that they, the businesses, are paying for is ludicrous.

how about when the left elected a president who had 2 communist parents, voted to the left of Bernie Sanders and is beloved by the CPUSA??

I listened very carefully to what he said. Why don't you?

If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.
President Obama: If you've got a business -- you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen - YouTube

This is another example of the propaganda and the brain damage...

What is in evidence? What is absolutely and entirely undeniable is that the following statement is true "If you own a business in the US, you did NOT build it entirely on your own"

There is no debate about this factual statement...none

So when these brain-dead, talking point repeating, rightwing terrorists continue to repeat the opposite, it is an important development to note...

the interesting thing to note is these comments arent even controversial, unless you are running a campaign and have nothing, absolutely nothing to show the people...then you make up controversial issues like this

Pity you're defending a statement that Obama didn't make. I'm sure you WISH he'd said, "you did not build it entirely on your own", but what he ACTUALLY said was, "You didn't build that."

The interesting thing to note is that there are so many braindead slackers in the world who've accomplished nothing in their lives, and therefore don't see anything controversial about the President of the United States trying to claim credit for the success of businesses.

how well would those who leech off of government be doing without infrastructure built by the rich???

Study says most corporations pay no U.S. income taxes | Reuters

The Government Accountability Office said 72 percent of all foreign corporations and about 57 percent of U.S. companies doing business in the United States paid no federal income taxes for at least one year between 1998 and 2005.

More than half of foreign companies and about 42 percent of U.S. companies paid no U.S. income taxes for two or more years in that period, the report said.

The number of failed BANKS dramatically increased during and after the housing crash.

yes the banks paid the price for not seeing the invisible liberal cancer that had been unleashed but remained unseen by all of us.

Still, liberals want to punish them even more than capitalism already did?

It makes no sense except to Marx who the liberals parrot having no idea they are doing his bidding.

Capitalism wiped out half the banks, can the liberals do more? No, but they could regulate or socialisze the system so the next time there will be no corrective capitalism, just soviet inefficiency and stagnation.

Banks failed to be sure but what about the bankers? You said half of them went bankrupt which is ludicrous, their asses were covered by pay and severance packages that were obscene insults to all the people who lost big due to their cavalier attitude with depositors accounts. It's like they cartoonishly got off the elevator just before it hit bottom. They did not share in the chaos they unleashed upon us and happily allowed the government to cover their gambling losses. Just to be clear, I am not talking about branch managers and tellers but the big players who came out of this looking like the won the powerball lottery. If just one of those pigs had been rendered penniless and locked up I would not be so bitter about it.

yep, the most tragic thing we can do is to encourage people to look for welfare, not work! Its a great way to acquire political power. The more welfare the more votes you get from your infantalized liberal constituency

then why do you keep omitting the part where he talks about roads and bridges?

Maybe because it doesn't change what he said, or how noxious it was, in the slightest. EVERYONE uses those roads and bridges, but NOT everyone has a successful business. To any thinking person (ie. not you), that means that it's not the roads and bridges that deserve the credit for the success of the business; they're just the playing field everyone started with. The credit for the success goes to the people who worked and worried and risked to build something upon the common foundation we all had.

And by the way, while I'm thinking on it, it's also noxious - and dishonest - for you and Obama and all the other leftist twerps out there to pretend that every cent of our tax dollars goes to roads, bridges, sewers, and what-have-you, and that objecting to paying ever-higher taxes is a vote against infrastructure. The fact that Obama took the noxiousness even farther by saying, in essence, "You should want to pay more taxes, because it's all those taxes that REALLY made you successful" is just an extension of lying bullshit that went on too long even before he opened his flapping gob.

a business is a tax collector not a taxpayer. The tax is passed on to customers like any cost. We have the corporate tax only to pander to the pure ignorance of liberals who lack the IQ to understand basic economics .
