    Now... the actual phrase from the speech:

    "the fact that they were the people who created the phrase ‘to make money.’ No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity–TO BE SEIZED, BEGGED, INERHITED, SHARED, LOOTED OR OBTAINED AS A FAVOR.

    Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be CREATED. "

    Caps mine.

    Phrases syntactically or grammatically similar may have been used for millennia, but not with the same meaning, "to *create* wealth". "Make" as in "obtain", yes... "make" as in "create", no.

    THIS is why I favor the United States building up its nuclear arsenal and destroying every other nation on the planet.

    Then we can sit back and say, "How's that revision go again?"
