This is a very interesting article that ultimately argues that a society/culture's very attitude toward innovation and entrepreneurialism is what really creates wealth...and this is the very thing Obama sneers at and damages in his BELIEF (not just gaffe, but deeply held belief) that "you didn't build that."

Figures. Can anyone imagine the Obamadork or his real dad (Frank Marshall Davis) actually ever doing any real work? Having a real idea? Passing a class in anything beyond elementary idiocy?

Obama is an envious, resentful spiteful man who sees himself as an outsider. He truly hates anyone who seems normal and happy or who had/has anything in life he doesn’t. His life is devoted to getting payback and hurting them. He doesn’t want to nourish success and independance - he wants punish those who dare have it.

The article is very much on point: “...a timely reminder that prosperity depends on more than effort or resources or infrastructure or good laws. Attitudes matter... You don’t build a wealthy society by deriding bourgeois enterprise — or the people who take pride in it.”

Perhaps Obama and his high-intellect advisers got it wrong? “You didn’t build that...”

Drones like Obama hate innovators like my Dad (who is the person primarily responsible for GPS).

The only thing Obama has ever created is Turmoil.

He hates small business for one simple reason - it cannot be controlled, and it doesn't supply him with money.

The big-government/big-corporate monopoly wants all small businesses to die. They don't want the pie to be bigger. They just want the whole pie.

He also hates small business because it isn’t unionized or unionizable.

And just like his corporate overlords, Dear Leader doesn’t like people who are debt free either since those who are not in debt cannot be enslaved/controlled through their job.
