“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”
Funny…We didn’t hear THAT from Obama 4 years ago…did we?
Imagine a guy campaigning on THAT sentiment and actually winning a 1st term. Now…Imagine a guy campaigning on that sentiment for a 2nd term. Well, you don’t have to imagine it because that is exactly what Emperor Obama is doing.
Now…imagine this Emperor trying to woo the votes of small business owners with a line like that.
“Greetings small business owners. Ya know…it occurs to me that, if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”
By the sweat of their brow, through trial and error, great ideas, through ground level grassroots marketing, after putting all they had into their business to get it off the ground, late nights, early mornings, no vacations and doing without, you are told by the Emperor that…
“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”
Of course, that wasn’t the entire message.
“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.”
“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.”
What exactly DOES the Emperor MEAN by that?
