It's time for the truth...

Just can't let the lies about "you didn't build that" continue.  The GOP is taking out-of -context what President Obama said in Jul 2012 when he was talking about ...well read it for yourself.  We will all be better off and our Country will be better off if we find the truth in what we hear and read and not rely on politicians or talking head.  Here it is:

"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.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. 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.
         The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative,
         but also because we do things together."
