Yes, private industry benefits from the infrastructures in our country that our capitalist economy enabled us to afford. But in this economy, what was Obama's purpose for making these statements? It sure wasn't meant to encourage the American spirit to persevere and drive us out of this recession. More like incite class warfare... again, and put entrepreneurs in their place. What's more is his comments seem to completely discount the possibility of someone creating something on their own. Does he really not believe that can happen? What did Obama hope to achieve with these comments?
