Romney: Obama Wants Americans to be 'Ashamed of Success'

Romney: Obama wants Americans to be 'ashamed of success' | Fox News


GOP candidate Mitt Romney on the campaign stump

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who was out on the campaign stump Tuesday, commented on President Obama's comments on the relationship between government and business.  Romney said his opponents wants Americans to be 'ashamed of success'.  The presidential candidate seized on Obama's statement in which he said businesses owed their success in large part to government investment and said to business owners, 'you didn't build that.'  What a slap on the face to business owners!  Does President Obama mean that?  I know I probably will sound like an Obama basher to some people, but I really do believe he means it.  Throughout the 2008 campaign trail and throughout Obama's presidency, he's been busy hammering businesses.  If you take a look at the legislation that was passed during the first two years of the Obama administration such as the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Dodd-Frank bill of 2010, the legislation does nothing but stifle business and job growth.  President Obama tries to give the impression that he's business friendly, but unless he supports CEO giants such as Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric or Warren Buffett, who support Obama's presidential campaign, Obama and his cronies have done nothing but make it more difficult for small businesses to flourish and operate, much less hire new employees.  President Obama has engaged in the takedown of capitalism as president.  He's invested billions in Solyndra for the production of 'solar energy', but there's no money in solar energy.  Even though President Obama orchestrated the bailout of General Motors, GM has produced a flood of cars nobody desires.  On top of that General Motors has moved jobs to China.  They're building factories in China.  How does that stimulate the American economy?  It doesn't. 

President Obama always engages in class warfare and always says the rich aren't paying their fair share.  The president has recently said he supports the extension of the Bush tax cuts for those families making under $250,000 but those who make more than that need to pay more in taxes.  The truth is when taxes are increased on the wealthy, the middle and lower classes will feel the brunt of increased taxes upon the wealthy.  The price of goods will increase as a result of increasing taxes on the wealthy.  President Obama wants to credit government for businesses flourishing.  I have some news for the president:  All the money that comes from government investment stems from taxpayers.  Taxpayers work at private sector jobs in order for them to pay taxes to the government.
