Just Asking

If it’s true, as our rookie president alleges, that Mitt Romney didn’t achieve his business success on his own but only partnered with various government entities and functionaries in achieving his great wealth. And if Dirty Harry’s murkily-sourced charges are true that Romney failed to pay income taxes due over the past ten years. Does this mean that the dedicated government school teacher in Mitt’s past and the union cop on the beat near Mitt’s place of business will have to be charged with income tax evasion along with him? Hey, we do things together in the United States of Obama. Don’t we?

I'm wondering if the governmental welfare recipients should be somehow creditied with Mitt's financial success, say if they hadn't appied for food stamps, rental allowances, aid to dependent children, free public school meals for their children etc, would Mitt's success been attainable? After all, he must have depended upon these welfare recipients in some way, shape or form, huh????????

Ridiculous argument that completely distorts what the President said. This post is a bad as the decontextualize commercial where Gilchrist, a recipient of much government largess, talks about building his business all by himself.
