"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along." - Elizabeth Warren
Some of us have worked for years for ourselves and our families with no handouts or public assistance. We built our shop in spit of by the rules, regulations, and road blocks hampering the process. We try to move our good and services and we have been paying taxes and fees for road and bridge repairs ( not all pay taxes) for years only to see that money spent by government while roads and bridges still crumble and remain unsafe. Let's not even talk of education..... most applicants can not even fill out an employment application never mind spelling correctly! We spend our time and money to do in house training. We have had van break-ins on and off our own property. Because of this, we take from our "work time" to go to court to see that these individuals are punished. In more than one case these perpetrators have seen the inside of a court house more than once. In closing, yes we build a business, hired people, paid good wages and insurance and find our customer base shrinking year by year. The "factories" are no more, either closed and made into public housing or forced over seas where it is cheaper and easier to make product. Please think wisely before casting a vote for one more socialists to move to Washington and tell you how to live and conduct your business..........Ladydi
