He was talking about roads, not the business when he said "you didn't build that" (at least thats how I interpreted it--was a horrible sound byte though). It's fucked up enough either way though.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I think the statement is disgusting no matter which way he meant it, just trying to be objective.

I disagree strongly.

Did anyone else hear a very faint "southern drawl" in Obama's speech? It certainly seemed like he was working the "down home" angle pretty solidly.

Keep in mind that almost everyone in the country works for someone, and these people spend their time wondering how come nobody works for them.

This whole bit about business owners owing their success to the nation/state is an old Marxist line, and it's just as effective now as it was the first the time it was rolled out.

Obama is an expert politician, and although he's made some gaffes, he generally knows exactly what he's saying and who is listening.

This was not a slip up.

From his decision not to wear a tie, to the fact that his wife-beater is visible through his dress shirt, to the subtle "country" dialectical inflections he employed, this speech was a calculated appeal to the populist ideals of the working class, and if the reaction of the crowd is any indication, it was a home run.
 
Why try to achieve anything? It doesn't matter how smart you are or how hard you work! A lot of smart people are working-hard everyday and their lives still suck. Don't try to build anything, 'cause everything good we've ever had comes from the government!

Fuck I want to vomit.

Pewep, please tell me you aren't going to defend his Stalinist approach, are you? :throwup: Can't you see what that leads directly to?

Luke,
Please don't spend tonight debating Pewep. I really like you and I like your posts, but you can't win against him because he isn't a real person. Instead of spending hours fighting an unwinnable war (war on terror/drugs/poverty, amirite?), howsabout laying down an epic post for us? Maybe something about how you hire and train your VAs?

either that or an epic post examining the ways in which the civil rights act of 1964 undermined property rights in the United States and essentially created a permanent, nationwide state of eminent domain, plox.
 
I honestly don't feel like wasting more time laying out the fucking obvious here, but i'll humor you guys just this once after i finish breaking bad.
