"Do we believe in an America that is great because of government, or do we believe in an America that's great because of free people allowed to pursue their dream?" Romney asked a cheering crowd of supporters gathered in the cement-floored warehouse of a local gas and oil services company."
I want to see that cheering crowd.. I doubt its that large an audience

And if a supplier fails to meet their legal commitments, should the courts be used to ensure that the "job creator" has legal recourse?

(1,374 posts)Nobody is saying that America is great because of government and not because of free people allowed to pursue their dream. It's not one or the other, it's BOTH. If they weren't taking one sentence of President Obama's speech out of context and tried listening to what his actual point is they'd see he was clearly praising both.
Example: I have an internet business. I am successful because of my own initiative AND the fact that the government invented the internet. I am not successful just because the internet was invented and I'm not successful from my own initiative alone.
I know they are selfish and think the individual should always get all credit for success and never anything else, but come on... What the hell is so wrong with pointing out that the government does help people get successful. Just because they hate government? Pathetic!

(47,992 posts)who has been dependent upon money all of his life, know anything about independence and freedom? How could anyone dependent upon the Fed's fractals of digitally coded PRIVATE arbitrary ambiguities ALL of his life know anything at all about being free.
Who/what would Mitt Romney be if he had been born in or below my social/economic class?
Necessity is the mother of invention. No necessity, no invention and Willard Romney hasn't known a moment's necessity his entire life. He's never done anything that he didn't have scores of helpers and way-smoothers and boo-boo-fixers making it happen for him.
Mitt Romney doesn't know shit about Free! He's a slave to his wealth. Proof? Look at all of the inhumanly horrible things he has done in order to get more of the Fed's PRIVATE 0s and 1s: Medicare Fraud - how many people did he/Bain hurt or kill, by fucking with their health care? Taking people's jobs from them - WHO but a SLAVE is capable of such a horrid crime against his fellow humans? Refusing to PAY the fair price for the collectively held advantages he has taken that helped to create his "wealth", i.e. taxes for public resources - What kind of fucking fucked fucker of ALL that is fucked REFUSES to pay for what they take??? That's THIEVERY. Mitt Romney is a slaving THIEF. He doesn't know dick fucking squat about Freedom.
