From “You did not build it!” to “You do not own it!”
When “you didn’t build that” was hot in the news,
I could not get a leftist to discuss what he policies he was trying to justify by stating that.
They simply denied that he was trying to justify policy, and was stating the concept that the society and infrastructure made success possible.
As for why he would state this (to justify a societal claim on the wealth of the successful), they would not even think about that, much less discuss it.
