"You didn't build that" is Obama's precise belief.

[SgtSpiderMan]

I know. But do you think that one single instance a truism makes?

Furthermore, as I pointed out, you have not proved that they called for the original ordinance instead of advocating for a particular change in the ordinance. I think you need to do some more research on your example that conclusively proves that it was a new regulation specifically demanded by business. Personally, I think there's a reason all the restaurants tend to come together in the same locations...

Do I think this one instance of a business going down to city hall and demanding laws be enacted proves that businesses don't want to be left alone? Yes!

Are you able to prove that someone in city hall randomly pressed for a law that said food trucks should be x distance away from brick & mortar establishments? No. In fact, that statement defies all realms of logic.

AJ, you've been proven conclusively proven wrong in this instance, and sadly, you haven't even been able to bring up one point that has anything to do with the topic.

Would you like another example? Disney is spending wads of cash to prevent casinos from opening or expanding in other parts of Florida.

Another? Brick & mortar retail establishments are trying to get regulations passed on how sales taxes are collected from online retailers.

Actually, I read the proof of his contention and brought in some inconvenient facts which were contained in it.

Are you off your meds today, or did I really piss you off by pointing out the shaky underpinnings of your triumphal KILL ROMNEY thread?

You're pretty much turning into the liberal equivalent of busybody. Half-way to Throb...

No. You haven't done that. You've brought up facts that have nothing to do with refuting my point.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

No. You haven't done that. You've brought up facts that have nothing to do with refuting my point.

oh Privateputter, just what have you built? sure, you consume tax dollars

 

[busybody..]

And actually, do you owe the the community a great deal, whether it is just the public or business community, someone bought your product to make you successful. You didn't just build it have it sit there.

you are a MORON

no one bought your product or sevice just because

they bought it cause they needed it or it was better than others

thats why 2 restaurants open on the same block, can have the exact same schools roads etc....one goes BK the other is awesome


NO, YOU DID BUILD THAT!

 

[busybody..]

N Korea has schools and roads etc etc

S Korea has schools and roads etc etc


The next line write itself......

YES, THEY DID BUILD THAT!


SOLYNDRA had roads and schools and community and millions in aid and loans and went BK, whereas other solar companies DIDNT GO BK


Yes, the OWNERS of the other DID BUILD THAT

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

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.

For the umpteenth time, businesses don't pay taxes.

Yes they do, it is just passed on to the consumer. Part of operating expenses you know.

That would be called collecting.

I truly and honestly hope that all your posts are made in jest

Because in real life

It would be sad

To go

Thru

BEING THAT DUMB!

 

[run_silent]

Additionally he has failed to prove in any way shape or form that his truism is even normative for business and government.

When Government gets so powerful that its purchase price is cost effective, even imperative, to business, then business will purchase government indulgences.
A_J, the Stupid

How about the Federal gov. outlawing cheaper prescription drugs from Canada? Do you think big pharma might have had to donate to some political campaigns. Big pharma is selling the same drugs in both places but for some reason they are more expensive in the US and congress made it happen.

NO, YOU DID BUILD THAT!

Christ, you're stupid. THEY bought it. Period. Otherwise I would not have a business. I built it with repeat business from other people. My business cannot succeed all by itself, doing nothing at all.

 

[RobDownSouth]

JabronieJohnson leaves one out....

YOU DIDNT BUILD THAT! will echo thru eternity....like ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, ASK WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY or THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF! or THE BUCK STOPS HERE!

not to mention IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLL... WHAT TEH ROCK......IS COOKING!

that DOESN'T explain why ONE business SUCCEEDS and ANOTHER FAILS in the exact same business......DOES IT?


content to believe I am a MORON!

Why is DELL doing well and GATEWAY went bust?

Why did AAPLE do well and APPOLO computer DIE?

They BOTH sold the same THING!

Im sure YOU wont understand!

No, YOUR business cannot succeed without others, but many businesses FAIL because the OWNERS/PRODUCT/SERVICE isnt as good as the next guy


I notice you IGNORE my SOLYNDRA comment

 

[mark_j]

Semantics, the business is still liable for it.

 

[thør]

another job created or saved......

 

[Loring2]

Shaddup, alt. You show up every now and then to back some idiotic thread by some idiot every now and then including dizzybooby. Fuck off until you grow a pair.

Aww, you found me out and here I thought that nobody knew that Loriin2 was an ALT ... How did you figure it out? You are one sharp dude (or dudette whichever the case may be).

To be honest about it, I didn't know that I was someone elses' allternate identity either so it was a surprise to me and frankly I was hurt and became angry but once I got my butterflies all flying in formation I realized that it was you who was angry and that because I don''t agree with your opinion. This is one of the first signs of insanity.

So Constipated or whatever your alt. is, I took the liberty of getting a court order to get protection for you. Protection from yourself
By the way, in reference to your last sentence. I've got a pair of beauties and if you want me to prove that than you're probably a queer.

Have some fun Consti and best regards,

Loring

The whole damned point to everything that was originally stated is no ONE person ever built a business by themselves. Period. You buy products from someone to build or make your products, other people transport it, public likes it and buys it (or not) and it goes on from there. All of this means there is more than yourself working in front of or behind the scenes to build and grow a business.

When you cannot post a sentence, retort, or comment without the word Nigger in it, it says a lot about you. It really does. We get that you're racist, bigoted, hate-filled, and God only knows what else. It's tiring. It's old.
And

it's just sad.

The word has lotsa utility, and saves wear & tear on other words.
