re: #43 Obdicut

Sure. I’ll go for that. And that’s an entirely true statement. Nobody becomes a success all on their own, except in the most rarified of cases. Nobody becomes a success in business solely because of themselves, with no help from anyone else. If you think someone did, name them.

Well then that is the difference. You think that the help is what made them successful. That is not the reason for their success.

I have said it multiple times, and I think I have been very clear.

The people offended by the Presidents speech have heard the whole thing. The context still sounds bad. They would be offended by what you wrote as well. They are past the idea that the government made a road. The road is made and can be used by anyone who wishes to create a business that needs people to use it. Same with the police, or whatever you can name.

This is about individual achievement. You either believe in it, or you don’t.

Nobody becomes a success in business solely because of themselves, with no help from anyone else.

There you go. That is what you believe. And that is what I think the President believes. And that is what the criticism is based on.
