Yes, Dear Leader actually said that in VA yesterday...
'The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet'' There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -look- if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there'
'The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together...'
Small wonder Russian immigrants to America are now saying the Progs remind them of the Soviet Union!
