whats so ahrd to believe about that? making a stink over it is a low iq tell. of course you didn't build that by your lonesome. you have to have infrastructure in place, working financial system, etc.

A foreign exotic with no personal achievements delivering a lecture on how people who actually accomplished things can feel no rightful pride because really it was built on the backs of low-IQ subalterns - gee, no idea why that would be grating.

This wasn't an poorly phrased statement, this was a theme that the DNC had been trotting out for a while. Obama wasn't the first one to say that. It made a stink because 1. it's incredibly offensive thing to say for a litany of reasons, and 2. this is standard fare big gov/ socialist nonsense that was correctly booed and hissed.

We can have a discussion about the Puritans and how they relate to noblesse oblige or whatever, that's fine. But that is not what Obama presented - he presumed to take the role of senior lecturer, explaining to successful Americans why they should feel guilty. It was a shitlib sermon, and enraging to anyone outside the prog, success = evil bubble.

but you DO owe others for your success. Your teachers, your family, the fact that you live in a well-maintained society w rules and courts o enforce those rules, a banking system that seems to more or less work most of the time, highways, the internet, etc etc ad nauseum.

Why is this simple concept of gratitude so hard for conturds to get around?

I mean, plenty of them go to church all the time and presumably practice gratitude then. Why not practice gratitude in your own life?

That's true but Bill Gates is Bill Gates not because of what others have done. Millions if not dozens of millions had effectively the same opportunities as Bill, but they failed to achieve his success. Bill is unique and deserves praise because he alone rose above and did built that when others with similar opportunities did not.

Bill Gates, other than maybe Zuckerberg, is the perfect example of an "innovator" who has the lowest ratio of value added to the economy and world with their unique intellectual property v. money returned to them from the exploitation of that intellectual property + the intellectual property and labor of thousands of other people who agreed to give him and his co-owners of his firm a disproportionate share of the value the company eventually created. Gates and Zuck are two of the luckiest fucks to have ever lived, and this should be plainly obvious to anyone.

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.

So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the GI Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President — because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.

As a business owner, it kind of feels like I succeeded in spite of every obstacle that was put in the way, with navigating multiple layers of government and paying sick amounts of taxes being the most difficult to deal with. Also, we're not in it together, there are no minority business loans or preferred vendor status for standard fare white folks.

lol, please. You're a fucking lawyer. If we were born in North Korea or Somalia we'd die of starvation. Your skills are not at all impressive or special. We benefit from a strong government that provides stability to the financial markets, that funds the basic research in devices and technology we take for granted, that projects sufficient power abroad to ensure our status as a global leader and the world's reserve currency, that funds the infrastructure that allows us to operate our businesses, that provided our fathers with housing and educational funding through the GI Bill etc.. Obama wasn't calling for confiscation of all property. He was just pushing back against the Randian Tea Party bullshit that was the GOP message back in 2012.

Had Muscadine been born elsewhere he still would have outperformed his peers because he has superior genetics as do most of us on this bort.

I concede that Muscadine is smart and hard working and let's even stipulate to the idea that his genetics are the sole meaningful cause of his success, and that therefore his success would be replicable in other places. The question is whether he would still be able to succeed to the same degree if other people with less ability were not also motivated to be productive and contribute to this society. Inb4 "b-b-b-but Obama wants to give all the nigs free money and Obamaphones"--the merits of particular Dem-backed policy choices in terms of where to spend tax dollars is a separate issue. The OP's point is still exactly right. Anyone who owns a successful business and doesn't acknowledge that their business relies upon various government functions that they had nothing to do with is a delusional putz.

That's not what he's saying. He's saying having a successful business requires at lot more skill, drive, work, and talent than average people. Of all the people I graduated high school with, I probably make in the top ten percent. Why? We all had a base amount of help from society, yes, but I outperformed and I did build that and they didn't.

I think the phrasing "you didn't score that touchdown!" would be a bit clumsy but a great athlete does need an organized league, great coaches, infrastructure, training, doctors etc. Obama was pushing back against the Randian Tea Party horseshit that was the flavor du jour of the GOP back in 2012.

Despite being a conservatard I actually agree with part of the "you didn't build that" schtick. A CEO today makes however many more times more money than his average worker, and the disparity is widely understood to be way greater than it was 100, 200, 300 years ago. While I understand how much work being a successful CEO is, it has always been a lot of work - much of the insane profit that companies are making nowadays is due in no small part because of a hyper-complexified, hyper-globalized world we live in. Bill Gates or prodigy CEO X would've been successful at any point in history, and would have worked just as hard, but becase we live in a world where companies simulateously benefit from the edge of first world learning while using the absolute dregs of the third world for labor, revenues are completely outsized to what they would be in a normal, well-functioning economy where externalities are kept within the community and state

The phrasing should have been "you didn't build that alone. Somebody else helped it happen" or something. NOT "You didn't build that. Somebody else made it happen."

Those are two completely different things. The first is expressing that while you did create it, other people or things helped. The second is saying you did not create it and someone else did. Which is BULLSHIT.

Shitlibs on here, consistent with their typical behavior, are acting as if he said the first and not the second.

You've conveniently left out the rest of the speech, which clarifies the "offending" statement.
