Obama, 'If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that



Now their is some pissed off people!
Including me! I dont recall anyone helping my wife and I build our business. Unless we paid them to do a service like painting and such, we had no loans, no sponsorship at all. I worked other jobs to save the money to build our business. So Obama, you tell me who built it if I didnt do it! I want to thank them first hand for paving the way for me!! Yeah right. I am so pissed off right now that anyone (not just Obama) would say something so stupid! We struggle everyday with owning a business, and will never do it again, because of all the paper work and the taxes on top of the taxes that we have to endure just to keep it going.
 ----(calm down, just calm down)
Please share if you care or know who built our business for us!

Washingtontimes/President Barack Obama addressed supporters in Roanoke, Virginia on Friday afternoon and took a shot at the business community. President Obama dismissed any credit business owners give themselves for their success:
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back.  They know they didn’t -- look, 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.  (Applause.)
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.  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.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.  There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own.  I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service.  That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
