Obama’s 'You Didn’t Build It' Canard - Tom DiLorenzo -

(22)

Well, Professor DiLorenzo, throws out the word 'Marxist' like it's a live grenade. All right, that's as good a label as any; but I certainly hope he doesn't lose his job. I'd enjoy watching him making bean and hamburger (if he has enough left to buy some) casserole with his foodstamp allotment. Yeah, those pesky problem folks giving up promising careers in order to live in shacks and eat beans, pasta and potatoes every day, especially the older ones who are sick and worked all of their lives so they could wind up on foodstamps. And those welfare recipients - that's why Cadillac dealerships are always competing for real estate in the ghettoes of America. A walk-through of our nation's Statistical Abstract will quickly enlighten those who are curious enough to discern who the REAL and BIGGEST welfare recipients and cheats are - Corporate America (They're more than hooked on the heroin of 'stimulus' and government assistance). And deadbeat dads - most of them are either cheap or broke, mostly cheap.

He conveniently forgets to mention what happened with Wall Street and the big banks when government 'restrictions' were removed from their 'business' activities by Clinton, Bush and Obama. Freewheeling and felonious CAPITALISTS instantly jumped on the bandwagon of fraud and here we are: Permanent recession bordering on depression, thieves running free and scamming even more people and a market that becomes more and more rigged and planned every day. To reach and maintain a 'free' market underscores the necessity of engaging those long lost virtues of responsibility, honesty and integrity, among others. These elements are absolutely essential to a functioning and promising capitalist model. Something's going on out there in the markets; but I wouldn't call it Capitalism. At best, it's a crap shoot and yeah, the government's in on it as it appears that the more 'regulations' one imposes on honest Capitalists, the better the chances are to clip more money from them and sooner than later they get the message: Either play the game our way or we'll eat you alive and as far as I can tell that's exactly what's happening. At worst, the situation is such that the business model is one where the business people begin to survive by feeding on their own deaths. They have no choice. Only when the felons are gone, GONE, can the system be refined to work the way it was designed to work.

Read the headline :Barack Obama recently proved once again that he is indeed a Proud Marxist (as Yuri Maltsev, former advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev, calls him) when he argued that successful American entrepreneurs "didn’t build" their businesses on their own. Government bureaucrats were mostly responsible for their success, the Marxist in the White House asserted, citing government-run schools, roads, etc. Like all Marxists, Barack Obama is belligerently ignorant of economics and is in denial of much of economic reality...Read More
