"You didn't get there on your own"

[saveliberty]

Yeah, think about Obama giving that same speech re the Olympics:

You say it is because you are talented. Well a whole bunch of people are talented.
You say it is because you put in the time and effort to train. Well a whole bunch of people put in time and effort on a lot of things.
You won that race? You didn't run that. There were people who built the track and painted the lanes and found a starting pistol. All of us working together won that race. So you're going to have to hand over some of your medal and record from the record book and share with everybody else.

Just hand over any medal you get to Michelle, she's right there...

Some days you're the voice of sweet reason, other days...well, not so much.

I guess if I was being serious, you'd have a good point. lol Have a wonderful day Barb.

We should start our kids off right too and have Barry give the speech to all of our school children!!! Our liberal schools already produce the dumbest kids in the world , so it couldn't hurt!!

You Olympians, however, know you didn’t get here solely on your own power. For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions. All Olympians stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them. We’ve already cheered the Olympians, let’s also cheer the parents, coaches, and communities. All right! [pumps fist].

- Mitt Romney 2002

My how times have changed...oh no, wait, no they haven't, it's just Mitt!

Mitt did not suggest for a minute that the Olympians did not put in the work, effort, endure the pain, the disappointments, and the struggle to reach a level to become competitive in the Olympics. The fact that others supported them along the way takes nothing away from their own efforts. No suggestion that those medals should be cut up and distributed to everybody because the Olympians don't deserve to keep them.

Obama tells us who built businesses that we didn't do that but government did it; that we owe everybody else our profits because we don't deserve them.

"We’ve already cheered the Olympians, let’s also cheer the parents, coaches, and communities."

Pay your tax to the support staff!


Show me a successful business on an island with ONE person one it?

Well done.

Who do they think they ARE, anyway?

The opportunity is roughly equal, we also already make those who made more of their opportunity pay more. Obama just thinks it needs to be all the higher, because he wants to put the money to his higher purpose.

cant show that and cant show you a successful student or athlete on an island either. Therefore we should rip them all off as Barry implied??

Tell us genius why Barry didn't give the same speech to students and athletes!!

Okay let's use the classroom analogy.

You are serious about your studies? Well lots of other people are serious too.
You stayed home nights and studied and learned the material? Well there's lots of people who have learned stuff.
You made an A on that test? You didn't make that A. The people who built the school and taught the class and your parents who got you up in the morning and all of us working together earned that A. Never mind that there were lots of others in the same class, in the same school who didn't bother to study or benefit as much from the opportunity.

We'll need to bust you back to a B minus so we can give more of what you think you accomplished to those who know they didn't accomplish it.

Vidi is just about the refute your argument!! I can hardly wait for the genius liberal to strike. I'm sure it will devastating!!

 

[Dr Grump]

God doesnt run a communist system.

Nice attempt to dodge though. Progressives progress towards socialism/communism. It's historical fact that that is their goal. They argue for evolution versus revolution of the new economic order.

What type of system is it? A benevolent dictatorship?

It should be of no concern to you.

Why not?

Giving back into the pool you took from is not being "ripped off" its called gratitude, respect for the system and being humble.


You see truly great people never believe they did it all on their own, because thats arrogant nonsense.

Neil Armstring didnt design the rocket that got him to the moon.

Charles Lindbergh didnt design the airplane he flew across the Atlantic.

Steve Jobs didnt invent the personal computer. Hell, he didnt even build the first APPLE computer.

Henry Ford didnt invent the automoble.

ALL of these great accomplishments were done with the help of others.

So name one that wasnt?

Or are you afraid?

Tom Hanks had a very successful fish processing business and coconut harvesting concern in Castaway.

Marxist platitudes only sound good until you actually think about them...

Barry didn't talk about a pool?????????? He said teacher, road builder, etc all of whom got jobs paid for by the rich who pay all the taxes, and all of whom in theory owed other people who got them the help they neeeded to be teachers or road builders.

So the rich pay 100% for teachers and road builders and Barry is reminding them they need to pay more to union stiffs who already make double the going free market wage?

There you go Little Eddie, changing the subject because youve reached the limits of your tiny tiny intelliect. So filled with fear that your bullshit might be ( has been ) proven completely wrong.

No. You dont get to dodge, coward, answer the challenge or concede!

Like your ability to reason.

The capitalist pig alone on an island will hoard all profit and not share any with the needy. He will exploit the natural resources without giving anything back to Obama.

So just using one of your examples, who gets the credit. The guy who thought up the internal combustion engine? Or the guy who figured out how to make it useful for millions of people and in the process made it possible for tens of thousands to have a good job and make a living.

Moving on to the guy on the assembly line, how much of his paycheck does he owe the heirs of the inventor? How much cut should the heirs of Henry Ford get of that? And how much is he owed by all the people around the auto plant who have jobs and earn a living because the plant is there and the guy on the line shows up to work five days a week?

Black entrepreneurs can look themselves in a mirror every day and know that the son of a white woman who grew up in a privileged Hawaii life is telling them as President that they did not build their businesses on their own.
