Obama: Successful people didn’t make it on their own


In case you weren’t already convinced that President Obama is anti-capitalism and anti-success, his comments from a recent speech are sure to clear that confusion right up.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: And, you know, 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 just because I was 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 hard working people out there.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. 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.

“This is great,” Glenn said on radio this morning in reaction to the President’s remarks.

Yes, successful people rely on others to help them get to where they are – Glenn is a perfect example of this – but the President took the idea to a whole different extreme when he insinuated that successful people are only successful because of the government.

That makes so much sense.

The misconception that only the people who run a company benefit from it’s success, creating that pesky 1%, is ludicrous. Glenn went around the radio room pointing out that Stu, Pat, and even Jeffy had all financially and personally benefited from Glenn’s success. They helped him become a radio superstar, and in return they have become successful as well. Glenn said that kind of mutual benefit happens when companies are run right, and when it doesn’t happen those businesses usually do not last.

Pay attention It was Obama that thinks he helped the Wright brother build an airplane, helped Bell invent the telephone, Edison invent the light bulb, Bill Gates write code for an operating system and even helped Frank Purdue raise chickens.

America's leading small business association has slammed Barack Obama for showing 'an utter lack of understanding' of the country's entrepreneurs when he told them: 'If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.'

In a hard-hitting statement to Mail Online, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) president Dan Danne said: 'What a disappointment to hear President Obama's revealing comments challenging the significance of America's entrepreneurs.

Mr Danne added: 'His unfortunate remarks over the weekend show an utter lack of understanding and appreciation for the people who take a huge personal risk and work endless hours to start a business and create jobs.'

The same roads, bridges, internet, teachers, etc. are there for the people who aren't wildly successful, too. It still takes hard work, determination and innovation to get ahead.

And let's not forget those successful pay more than their fair share for those roads, police and fireman.... I believe Obama thinks we pay for all this with HIS money not ours...

Or is getting welfare/entitlement class confused with business owner.... Those are the REAL people that take advantage and don't pay their share for the roads etc etc...
