Yes, Mr. President, I BUILT IT!

Barack Obama does not think any business owner built his business. "Someone else made that happen".

WRONG BARACK! I BUILT IT!

According to the IRS there are 27.6 million businesses in America. 21 million of those are self employed individuals, no employees. Another 6 million have less than 10 employees. These businesses create 87% of the jobs in this country. I own my own business, My wife owns her own business. In addition she works full time, and coaches middle school cheer, and college cheer. In addition to my business I run a non profit, and do all the billing, admin, and legal work for her company. WE BUILT OUR BUSINESS! WE had the idea, WE got the training, WE leased the buildings,WE have made them successful. All YOU have done is got in the way, and made it more difficult to hire and make money. Our parents, and us paid for our education, we paid for the roads, police, fire, and given that the top 10% pay 70% of the taxes, we paid vastly more than the rest of society.

These are societal structures available to everyone. The business owner sacrifices much to own their own business. Time from families, long work hours, every penny scrounged from the budget to feed the business, hours spent in governmental compliance.

Mr. President you would know nothing about that type of sacrifice, having never drawn a private paycheck. Government is not what has made this country great, it is the men and women who sacrifice to start businesses, and employee people. The people you are demonizing are the ones paying your salary. They pay for everything! They pay 70% of the federal budget, as well as the state and local spending. THEY are the ones on the hook for the debt you have racked up.

I would appreciate it if you simply said THANK YOU! If you are incapable of that perhaps when you retire in November you can get a job, and figure out how this country actually works.
