re: #55 Buck

Ya he said both things. He often does. That doesn’t make it better.

Back it up even further…

Yes, a successful business owner does think that they are smarter and work harder than people who who are less successful.

The president is saying (with a wicked sneer) that it isn’t hard work that is responsible. It is some teacher, or the construction crew who made the roads that are responsible.

A successful business owner is free to think whatever he likes. But we don’t live in the America of yesteryear, where self-made millionaires worked themselves up from the mail room to CEO. Nowadays we have their children, guys like Mitt Romney or George W Bush or the Koch Brothers, born to the purple and pampered all the way. Now the mail room kid is watching his job disappear due to technology, while the job he was working towards gets filled by the CEO’s kid or one of his rich buddies offspring.
