I do not pay income tax......I put my money back into my business.
This keeps the economy moving.
Obama says unless you pay taxes or voted for people to make others pay, you don't qualify. Nevermind if you provided goods and services that trickled down to the troops. Nope, unless you directly mailed a check to the IRS (or voted for people to make others do it), you don't count.

Otherwise, Me, I would have been scared sh*** to go in and do that. And I admit it too.

But the people who don't pay taxes voted as a majority to elect people who would tax you. So, they should take credit, no?
LOL, yep, Interesting thought.
So.. people who DON'T pay taxes have the "same rights" as someone who does pay taxes. Then get into a tizzy because people who DO pay taxes use the roads and infrastructure they I helped pay for.

Your just saying? but what you are just saying doesn't make sense??? So I ask again, please explain?

So in essense people who don't pay taxes have the same rights as someone who does pay taxes. Then get into a tizzy because I use the roads and infrastructure that I helped pay for.
That's becuz the isn't a single entrepreneur, businesses man, inventor that hasn't built off of what was already there. The automobile is simply an extension of the horse drawn carriage industry. Without the foundation of the carriage industry, developed over many centuries by millions of other craftsmen and artisans.
Electricity??? People have been toying with electricity for thousands of years. There is evidence that crude batteries and lights going back to the earliest historic civilizations. The latest electronic inventions being made today are built on the foundations thousands of years ago.
Did "government" aid those developments? Heck yes, almost at every step. Without a royal benefactor and sponsor inventors like Devinci would never have developed their sciences. Schools to expand knowledge have always been funded by the government. Without a government sponsored education inventors would be inventing the same things each generation. Education allows us to build on the last generations invention.
You drive on roads YOU didn't build...

Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
All his examples of what "made it happen" were government, government, and government. Whether it was government's NASA space program, a government fire department, or government financed roads, bridges, dams, all of Obama's examples were government.
Not one of Obama's examples cited a private entrepreneur, which is no surprise, since in Obama's world, only government can help, only government is worthy of praise.
It's clear what he meant, we owe everything to government. When Obama says "somebody" he means "government". Only government "allowed you to thrive". So give back to government, pay more taxes.
