printLeft-liberal news sites are not running with the headline. Why, they’re not even reporting the loathsome words that tumbled out of Barack Obama’s gob today:
Here’s this collectivist’s repudiation of the individual:
…look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. 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. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.) …
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. … Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
And Booboos Americanus applauds, because this equally repulsive creature knows that, backed by the policing powers of the state, Obama will move in to take from he who has acquired wealth through work, to give to the man whose possessions come from the manipulation of the political system.
Indeed, “Statists say that if not for the state, man would be unable to produce. That’s like saying that the tick created the dog! Production predates government predation. Government doesn’t produce wealth—it only consumes it.”—ILANA (“Sixteen, the Number of the Beast,” in Broad Sides, 2004)
