Remarks by the President at a Campaign Event in Roanoke, Virginia (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/07/13/remarks-president-campaign-event-roanoke-virginia)

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.



The quote is near the end.
It's your basic campaign stump. Blame the other guy. Vote for me. Through out, though, are the not so subtle statements that everything is due to .gov giving it to you.

And the sheep lap it up like good little proles.

They don't actually lie. They just don't tell you the entire truth.

The economy is owned by the government. If you believe you are engaged in private enterprise best think again. Government provided the credit so government owns everything.

Here is a good description of the way Steve (aka Obama) thinks ...


Let's say I went to work for Bill Gates at Microsoft headquarters. Bill himself greats me my first day on the job and personally shows me to my new office that is ..... wait a minute, I thought this room was ready for you to work in, but there's no desk, no carpet, nothing on the walls, no drapes, computer, nothing. This room is empty. Here, Bill says as he hands me the company credit card and tells me, go to office despot and pick out everything you want in that office, and get everything you think you might need to make it happen. You have cart blanch. So I go get everything I need to make it happen, swipe the company card WOW, well I do have nice taste, and tell them to deliver it. Anyway a year later I realize that Ol'Bill, well he's quite a cock sucker and I don't want to work for this prick any more. Can I pack up all the shit I picked out at office despot and march my very unhappy ass out the door with it? Why hell no. The medium of exchange never belonged to me so neither does the stuff. FRNs are a paper form of the company,(U.S.,LLC) credit card. The owner's mane is boldly printed on the top of the front of every piece of paper uncle sam prints in our names. Everything you think you own belongs to the owner of the medium of exchange.

Literally, you don't own shit. once you push that little chrome handle or pull the chain and place what groceries turn into in the sewer system you loose control of it, but it never was yours to start with because what you had to consume in order to make that refuse was bought with federal reserve money. They just let you use it then they charge you for its use.

If you worked for gold or silver and did not deviate into the fiat field then the outcome would be different.

I recently read a great piece on how to convert all your FRN transactions into barter exchanges, and avoid taxes by doing so. Not sure it will fly with the IRS. It's based on the inherent wothlessness of the FRN because it is a debt instrument, and lacks inherent value as gold or silver has. I won't describe it further but will provide a link:

The system you describe, Palani, where we literally don't own shit is called (by some) capitalism. It is a slave system, as is socialism and communism. The whole capitalism/socialism paradigm is another manifestation of the Hegelian dialectic, just as is the left/right paradigm. It is set up to get adherents on either side who will strongly disagree with those on the other pole, effectively dividing us, and conquering us. The only real paradigm I can see is the slave/freeman paradigm. It does not set people against each other, and gives them a real choice of how they want to live their lives. The only meaningful question in life is 'Do you own yourself? Yes, or No?' If the system enslaves you, it is by your own choice. Freedom is the reward of those who take responsibility. PMs are the money of free people.

The economic fucktard-in-Chief conveniently discounts that all the input costs for this 'social-oeuvre' are paid for with the labors of the people. Teachers, firemen and the like are salaried by the government. The government taxed you and me to pay those salaries. Sure, I've benefited from the innumerable intangibles provided by a positive culture, through the help and advice and pro bono acts of others. But I'll bet all these mentors and helpful folk didn't know that their good deeds belonged to the state apparatus according to Obongo's world view. Obongo is cravenly proprietary about other people's work and profits. Funny how he always positions him and his ilk as the indispensible middlemen in the social trading house of good deeds and acts, always there to skim profits and control other people's destinies though coercion. Without Obongo and the other human cancer cells infecting and sickening our society with their parasitic socialism-capitalism hiding behind a shabby fig leaf of populist class envy politics, imagine how far this nation and it's people would soar. The man is a empty suit, weaved of pure cynicism and devoid of any natural talent or desire to help anyone other than himslef. The man is a cultural black hole, a social vampire, far worse than mere nothing and nobody.

I think you can build a good size small business "on your own" but people that make hundreds of millions on up..no way they had to step on a lot of people to get where they are and had to have had a lot of help from the gov at least looking the other way.

[PlatinumBlonde]

if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.

Can you say AFFIRMATIVE ACTION Barry??
