It is amazing how well every sentence but your last covers the "We [not I] built this" view Joel Send a noteboard - 01/09/2012 03:29:27 PM
I guess if you create a silly stereotype about a group and base your knowledge of their belief system on what fringe nutjobs say about them it can be hardly surprising that you suffer from systematic ignorance on the issue. Your nutjob ideas on conservative thought are not based on reality so it is hardly surprising that you are confused on the issue. Republicans don’t believe that government shouldn’t build anything and that things they build are not important we just think they should stick to building roads and not the cars that drive on them and we think that the government doesn’t get to take credit for building the cars simply because they built the roads.

Since roads and railways are indispensable to bringing plants materials and workers who produce cars, and consumers who buy them, government (i.e. the public) shares credit. That does not diminish the factory owners role, nor the investors: It just means they must share credit rather than diminishing everyone elses critical contributions. Neither Warrens comments nor Obamas paraphrasing of them denied the individuals role or affirmed an exclusive government one; they only noted that business success is a community effort (which includes government, but not only government) rather than purely individual one.
