But setting the record straight, I did too build that. And for those things already in place before my time, my father, and his father before him built it.
Everything that the government is, has done, has facilitated the construction thereof, was done with the consent of those who paid for it and rest assured, the paymaster wasn't the government. Every single dime came from the taxpayer and for the most part from the various businesses that employed those taxpayers.
The government has never created a single penny of wealth and never will. The best the government has ever done is to get out of the way of those that actually do create wealth.
You owe your government, community, absolutely NOTHING. Every single piece of infrastructure that exists you bought and paid for with the sweat of your brow. You're obligation is to do nothing more than to pay the taxes you owe under whatever tax laws you live under and to obey the laws until such time that you, along with others, can overturn those laws via the courts or the various legislative bodies. The very concept that the 'government' gave you these things and you 'owe' them in return is the mind set of a serf, a slave, an indentured servant at the very best. It is not an attitude befitting free men and women.
There was no 'taking Obama out of context' in his statement. His statement was a true reflection of what he believes. He stated as much in his book, assuming you bothered to take the time to read it. All of the semantic 'dancing' and convoluted disassembling of his words just won't change the reality of what he was saying. And what he was saying was that all blessings flow from the government. The government didn't 'build' those roads, or bridges, or anything else public because the government COULDN'T build those public facilities without the capital that flowed in from the industries and individuals that, in the end, actually made all of those roads and bridges possible.
