If you follow the far lefts convoluted logic to its logical conclusion, the poor had businesses that government built for them that they apparently frittered away
And so they had ought to be taxed at the same rate as the rich for being so wasteful, careless and lazy
Not rewarded
Um, no. The right has consistently championed those who would build businesses, whether they succeed or not, on the basis that you can't have the successes if you don't allow the failures as well. Like the salesman's adage that you don't get to the Yes until you experience a lot of Nos first.
The poor generally are too concerned with survival to think about starting businesses. Different mindset.
The right is correct that there is a drive within a business starter that is necessary to build a business. The left is correct that there needs to be solid infrastructures in place to nourish it. To use an analogy, a plant needs both the seed's drive to produce a plant, as well as the soil, nutrients, water, and sunlight to make it grow. Innate drive AND proper environment.
The right has taken Obama's words extolling the environment, as negating the need for the drive itself. Which is odd because they themselves believe in the necessity of a nice environment to grow businesses, but they believe that a business has a right to demand all necessary support.
