Obama: America’s Wealth ‘Originally’ Came from Taxation, Government Programs

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"Our big problem here in this country is, sometimes we forget how we became so wealthy in the first place. You start hearing arguments of, we do not want to pay taxes to fund universities, or, we do not want to pay taxes to maintain our roads properly because, why should I have to invest in society, I made it on my own? And we forget that the reason you have an opportunity to work at Google or general motors or IBM had to do with a lot of investments made in science, research, roads, courts, and all the infrastructure that helps preserve the ability of people who want to operate effectively in a marketplace to be able to make it. I always tell people who are anti-government, try going to a country where the government does not work."
