"You didn't get there on your own"

[JoeNormal]

Ok, all you big time entrepreneurs. You want a challenge? See if you can start a successful business in Somalia.

Jesus, a fifth grader trying to explain economics.

Thanks for the laugh................

Did I make it simple enough that even YOU could understand?

the only thing "simple" is your thinking
scary too

And those idiots vote...right into the treasury with thier enablers...Obama and company.

 

[mudwhistle]

Just like a republican to have such a narcissistic and self-centered point of view.
They cannot admit that it takes more than an idea to have it work.
If you think your hard-work alone and your money alone makes a business thrive then you have the narcissistic attitude and reality in now way shape or form can make you see the truth.

The TRUTH is that jobs are a byproduct of a successful business. Jose wants to clothe and feed his family, so he finds an old bicycle and fits a box on it. He starts selling tamales his wife makes on the street. People really like his tamales and he sells out each day with people wanting more. Jose finds another bicycle and fits a box on it. He finds a relative to start selling his tamales so he is doing twice the business. Of course, his wife can't make twice the tamales she was, so they have another relative making tamales too. Eventually, he needs to add additional bikes and workers to keep up with demands. He also has to find a commercial kitchen and centralize his tamale making with all the staff under one roof. He realizes that he can cover more territory with trucks selling tamales than with bicycles. People buying his tamales ask about tacos and burritos, so he expands his menu and on it goes.

Jose had an idea and took the initiative to act on it to make enough money to support his immediate family. He made the decisions and took the risk at each point of his journey. Because he had a good product that people desired, he was successful and with his success came growth and with growth came jobs........but he never started the company to provide others with jobs. Just to feed his family. His employees work hard and are paid for their time and ability. But if Jose hadn't decided to sell tamales, look how many less jobs there would have been. Is Jose supposed to give each employee an equal share of his profits? Is he being an evil rich greedy bastard if he doesn't? According to Obama he is. Jose doesn't deserve any praise for starting a tamale company that employees a lot of people. His bicycle salesmen made him what he is. What horse shit!

You can't sell tamales on the street anymore. You need licensing and inspectors and insurance. So now, you've got to go to the bank and borrow some money in order to cover your "start-up" costs. But the bank won't give you any money because you don't have collateral. So, you sell your tamales illegally and end up in jail with a stack of fines and court costs to pay. THAT's the New America... the one that statist Democrats prefer.

But they're just helping "the little guy", doncha know?

Good example of how the government helps us......move our assets out of the country.

Pretty soon you'll need a license to "Squeeze The Lemon". Doing your business.

 

[Mr.Nick]

And without roads, Jose's tamales and the customers would have never met. Without a safe food supply, Jose probably would have tainted his customers. Without police protection, some thug would have stolen Jose's money...

ok, AND?
WE THE PEOPLE pay for those things..what the hell don't you idiots get and KEEP regurgitating this bullshit

Because you conservative dimbulbs only see the world in black and white. Either you make yourself a success or the government does.

I'll spell this out for you since you're probably too stupid to get it from this clue. It takes a motivated entrepreneur AND the infrastructure that government provides to create a success.

Oh really dumbass - you obviously never owned a business in your life...

You progressive retards just sit here and attempt to tell other people how it works, because you believe in your own fucked up minds you know how economy works, or how businesses work - yet you don't know jack shit Jack....

Government doesn't do anything but MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULTY TO KEEP A BUSINESS OPERATING DICKHEAD....

My family had to close our family store because of the shitty economy and government demands....

Just shut your fingers up already.....

I've owned a business and I didn't have any trouble at all keeping the government happy. Finding enough customers to make it worthwhile was a problem. What was this family store of which you speak?

Jose PAID his 'fair share' for those things ALREADY.

And now you want MORE?

How much is enough?

Could be that YOU didn't work hard enough? From your postings? I'd say that was so...SO YOU have thrown in the towel and given up to mommy Government to save you.

Obama is taking an interesting and dangerous approach on the campaign trail, telling successful business owners that they "didn't get there on their own", that their success is predicated in part on the labor and efforts (and taxes) of others. This gives the GOP an opening to say, "see, he hates business owners, we told you so."

On the other hand, it opens up a national conversation that I've never seen before, building on Elizabeth Warren's comments as she runs for office.

The idea that "it takes a village" to do anything is -not- new.

The Obama is making the case that because you were helped in your efforts to better yourself, the government must make sure that you help others. This is hardly new, in that the left has argued that the government must make good on the wealthy's moral imperative to help the less fortunate for a VERY long time.

Never mind that government is dependant on business; the reverse is not true.

There are businesses and then there are REAL businesses... Selling candy bars from a goddamn wheel barrel isn't a business... An S-Corp is....

If you don't have a tax number then you're really not a business....

We had a store that sold toys, games, puzzles, magic tricks, gags, cool looking lights, lava lamps etc... We sold "odd" items... For example I have a case in the corner of solar activated cockroaches (when you put them in the sun they start running around) stuff like that...

Now I have 3 garages of shit from product to display cases..

I'd love to get rid of all this random shit..........

No, I once worked for 40 hours without sleep in order to complete a contract. Working hard enough wasn't the issue. It was a bleeding edge company in a field where there were some pretty well established competitors. I probably could have made it work if I'd have stuck with it longer - I have a friend who's doing what I started - but it lost it's appeal and I felt like I'd been there and done that.

This tactic is flying right into the teeth of the GOP's strength, that business and employers are the key to economic success. He's betting that the GOP, so controlled by absolutists right now, is going to look anti-ALL workers, not just union.

Pretty brave, and I think it's a good conversation to have.

Obama Mocks Rich: 'You Didn't Get There On Your Own'

.

Anyone that still denies Obama is a Big Government Socialist is a fool. He can not even give credit where credit is due in the Business world. He is basically telling them they didn't do shit, they didn't earn what they built.

Left wing through and through.
