To this I say BS. The gov't doesn't put in 50+ hour (many put in 60-70 hours) workweeks. The gov't didn't give me travel vouchers for my family to be with me when it was necessary to be on the road for work. The gov't doesn't study for you to make strong academic achievement. The gov't doesn't come up with inventive or more productive ideas (sometimes defense R & D has made breakthoughs....but Obama and the Ds are ready to hammer defense spending). The gov't doesn't guarantee investment risks (unless its Solyndra or another Obama bundler). The gov't certainly has never bailed me out of anything. All the while folks who have worked and sacrificed for their own success are mandated to pay an even higher percentage of taxes????


I wish Obama and the Dems would just change their party name to Democratic Socialist Party and be who they really are.

The President just nailed his re-election coffin shut with that statement.

I can tell neither one of you actually watched the speech, you just took that one quote that Fox News splashed and ran with it. A shame to see how gullible our voters are.

^^is the speech. While I agree he made a poor choice in words with the "you didn't build it", his point was (you'd know if you listened to it) that you didn't get successful without help. That help comes from many forms and factors well beyond your control.
