"If you own a business, you didn't build that!"

"If you own a business, you didn't build that!"
.. (wait for it) ... "The government did!"
- u.s. president Barack Hussein Obama

Search every major news outlet,
because I could not make this up if I tried.

"To say that Steve Jobs didn't build Apple,
that Henry Ford didn't build Ford Motor Company,
that Papa John didn't build Papa John's Pizza,
that Ray Kroc didn't build McDonald's,
that Bill Gates didn't build Microsoft,
and if you own a business, 'You didn't build that!'
'The government did!', leaves one, well, almost speachless!"
- Mitt Romney

By the way, Mitt Romney's Bain Capital helped build Domino's.

Is investing risk capital in business evil?
If you enjoy Domino's Pizza, does that make you evil also?

Should we evildoers be rounded up, arrested, shot?

Or because we in our ignorance did not know that we were evildoers,
but rather mistakenly believed that entrepreneurship was "the american way"
should we be treated more humanely and just be restricted, taxed, regulated,
and ulimately legislated completely out of business by the u.s. federal government?

Like millions of others, I'll await my fate from the upcoming November elections
and in the immortal words of The Who ...
"Get on my knees and pray, we don't get fooled again!"
