"Your didn't build that..." redux
Posted by IndianaGary 10 years, 8 months ago to Politics
Remember when Obama said, "You didn't build that...?" This could not be a clearer statement of his Marxist philosophy than if he walked up to a microphone and declared himself, "I am a Marxist."
I've been reading Thomas J. Malone's book, "A Defense of American Ideals" (which I highly recommend, by the way) and ran across the following:
"Henry Hazlitt summed up Marxism as follows...
The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence:
Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances
admit that this success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive
contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his
success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery
of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may
be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be
be due to his own defects - his laziness, incompetence, or stupidity.
..."
Obama's "You didn't build that..."comment reflects his own moral bankruptcy. He
wouldn't recognize an entrepreneur if he tripped over one.
