Got a suggestion for the next prez applause line: "We ALL Built It!"

Last edited Tue Aug 28, 2012, 08:47 PM - Edit history (1)

This is the next logical step in the argument...not only make it clear that "entrepreneurs&quot a word George W. Bush tells us the French don't understand)are not solely responsible for building this country, but that most of it was and is built by THE REST OF US!

1) The workers, who create the goods or carry out the services.

2) The consumers who purchase the goods with the tiny share they receive of the wealth they helped create.

3) the teachers(formal or otherwise)
that help people learn how to create the wealth that most of us don't get a fair enough share of;

4) the children, who will carry on the process of creation once all of us are gone.

The prez needs to make it clear that we all deserve credit...and that the 1% do NOT deserve to be treated like gods who walk the earth.
