Now We Get The Truth

Mr Danne added: 'His unfortunate remarks over the weekend show an utter lack of understanding and appreciation for the people who take a huge personal risk and work endless hours to start a business and create jobs.'


President Obama said in a speech at the weekend that governments and not individuals create jobs, telling entrepreneurs: 'If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.'
He added: '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.'

I'm glad he said it because it's been apparent this is how he thinks.  The POTUS seems not to get what wealth is, where it comes from, and why he and other pols can use the productivity generated by others, and auction it off to pad their political resume.

Lots of smart people "fail", many hard working people do not wind up with successful businesses that employ hundreds or thousands and bring valued products to market.  That comment is so irrelevant it is stunning to consider.
