    Do you still find the "Don't tase me bro" catchy? Well do we have good news! The president just spoke his mind on business owners. Clearly, the beloved leader decides all american businesses owe a huge favor to the government — not that huge, just the fact that business are under constant subsidizing of the govt., they are graced upon with govt. money not the other way around... and above all...

    people don't build or start businesses, govt. does!

    "You didn't build that!"

    All American businesses owe a huge favor to the society that supports them, yes. I don't think that's unreasonable to say.

    Seriously, these people have no god(*)(*)(*)(*) sense. They hear one stupid quote taken out of context and think Obama secretly means he wants to take credit for everything anyone does. It's starting to (*)(*)(*)(*) me off.

    Oh, you mean your business operates without customers? You mean your business doesn't utilize infrastructure subsidized and maintained by societal institutions? Your business doesn't operate with employees who have been educated by social institutions?

    Commerce requires two to tango.....which one is doing the favor?

    Do you not use the same infrastructure? Does the money raped from my business via Property Taxes/Gas Taxes/ect not count?

    My property taxes built the schools and paid the teachers......

    ....it turns out....I built that and then some.

    Thank you for confirming that you do, in fact, need society to operate that business. You did not build it by yourself.

    ...can you refute the fact that you need society, or are you going to go off on one of your typical attempts to avoid the discussion at hand?

    I get pissed off when the government lies, but at least I expect it from them. How can society function with a lying and deceitful government AND a lying and deceitful people?

    My vote for quote of the year is not just any quote....but the dumbest quote I've ever heard anyone make and try to be sincere about it...

    "I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love." - Mitt Romney

    Epic quote fail....

    Yes Einstein....The Business is built before Customers are a factor......

    Next time you walk into a store to buy something...... you should take notice your walking into a store.....not an empty field. Perhaps you should thank the store owner for building it......

    They werent taken out of context. He said it, and he believes it.

    The American people created the government, not the other way around.

    The government is supposed to serve us, not the other way around.

    Obama should shut his mouth and work on making America the best place in the world to run a business. Hes not. In his moronic mind, the government creates the means of production.

    No, you built a building, not a business. I don't think built either at this point, since you're so ignorant about what it takes to run a a business.

    He said that business creation was a result of individual initiative combined with working together, which is absolutely true. He didn't say government owns all means of production. You're just so wrapped up in this us against them mentality that's what you heard.

    Dave, your point of view is interesting to me. I imagine you must be young and idealistic, or else you never worked to build a business a day in your life. Of course a business needs society to operate, but that doesn't mean that society did anything to build my business. Customers did help me build my business, but not without me putting in the work to get those customers. Government may have built the roads, and pipelines, and tried their best to educate our employees, but they couldn't have done that without the tax dollars that I paid on the revenue that I worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for. You may be forgetting as well that it is government that has enacted inumerable regulations and needless hurdles that have not only raised the cost of doing business but made it even more difficult to build a successful business. Just try to remember that when all is said and done, it is the hard work of the individual that builds innovation and success, not government. Business are built and are successful in spite of the government.

    Did you build the store all yourself? Did you survey the land and excavate the lot yourself? Did you put up the steel and brick yourself? Drywall it all by yourself? Run all the electricity by yourself?
