Tell my dad that he didn’t build this company …

The Orator-in-Chief is getting hammered for his remark “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

It didn’t take long for Team Romney to pounce on the red meat.

I think the commercial is pretty well done …

The problem w that ad is the company received almost $1m in government financed credits to start that facility.

I’ve started and run a business. We got help from the SBA as well as private investors. Frankly, EVERYBODY who has EVER built a company should acknowledge that timing and luck (as well as the rule of law and a stable infrastructure) are as important as hard work and skill. I’m no Obama fan, but this notion that rugged entrepreneurial individualism exists in some kind of a vacuum is just silly.
