'You Didn’t Build It' Illustrates the Liberal Collective’s Dreams and Tactics (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/07/22/You-Didnt-Build-It-Illustrates-the-Liberal-Collectives-Dreams-and-Tactics)
Let’s be really clear what Obama is saying. He’s saying that entrepreneurs and small business people do nothing special, that they are parasites just like his own constituents. We know he’s saying it. He knows he’s saying it and, further, that he believes it. It’s profoundly disrespectful, and purposely so.
It’s aimed at Obama’s core constituencies of trust fund/showbiz liberals, lay-about welfare sponges and unwashed occupiers – none of whom ever built anything and few of whom pay income taxes – with the short term goal of building a false moral case for stealing more money from the productive and using it for the benefit of his loser voters. Over the long term, delegitimizing hard work and personal initiative independent of government supports the progressive dream of a nation of serfs begging for handouts from their elite overlords.
So, he said what he said, he meant what he said, and he had a specific reason for saying it. And, as many folks have pointed out, it’s substantively ridiculous.
What Obama seeks to do is eliminate the significance of the variable in the equation by treating the constant as the variable. One frequent refrain of the lefty cover-up crew is observations along the line of “Well, you wouldn’t have been successful if you were in Somalia!” Perhaps true, but irrelevant, as we are not talking about enterprising Somalis.
We’re talking about the United States, where everyone has access to the vaunted infrastructure that taxpayers in the past built. Let’s leave aside, for a moment, the fact that most of the lay-abouts Obama is trying to sucker with his rhetoric are not federal income tax payers, much less federal income tax payers “in the past.” Let’s just assume the kind of underachievers who respond to this envy-fueled nonsense were writing the same kind of checks to Uncle Sam as the people running businesses have been writing all along. If you want to, you can believe in unicorns too.
