[quote=nky]OK so can some of my comrades on the board explain this:
If it's true what the President meant to say that business and success couldn't be done without the help of government- why isn't everyone being successful? What separates a successful business from a failing one?
If we all went to similar schools, similar education, drive on the same roads and bridges, have available the same government programs and regulations, and surf the same net, in other words if all things are equal - why does one person succeed and the other one fails? Could it come down to the person? Someone with a drive to succeed, someone who works hard long hours, some one who puts in the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to build a business.

Just a thought on a Tuesday morning[/Q. That is the way I was looking at it. If he was refering to everything the government does as making someone successful. Why isn't everyone successful. He was attacking the hard working people of this country and it has not been taken out of context.
