Freemen will climb mighty mountains without complaint and build monuments to life. Slaves take a pebble at a time until the mightiest plan of the ruler declines to nothingness.
We've been in decline for sometime now. Obama thinks he is going to stop the bleeding with a few fake moves to the right. Ain't gonna happen.
The reason entrepreneurs take the risk in developing new products or innovations is to make a profit. However, if whatever they make from taking these risks is highly taxed and government regulations hamstring and block almost anything you want to do why bother?
Why should we do “useful stuff” at your request when you take the fruits of our labor (which you’ve done nothing to earn or deserve) by very credible threat of force?
Build it, then the EPA etc. can ban o
it.
BOOOO!
The only “tax incentive” government should give is LOW TAX RATES for everyone.
Wow. The Greatest Orator of All Times really is a dunce.
Obama, the government needs to cut stuff and de-regulate stuff and make it worth while to build stuff and invent stuff in America instead of sending jobs and stuff overseas for stuff to be made.
Mr. President, inventing “stuff” requires capital, capital you and your cronies keep confiscating for your own ends. Or if you don’t confiscate it outright, your policies inflate away the value of existing capital or your regulators tie up in knots in a futile effort to avoid taking risks because you don’t like the possibility of failure. But it is exactly failure that allows invention to take place - not “smart” investments by government. It is people who are willing to take risks and seek some sort of reward from that risk-taking who drive economies forward not decrees from the head of state.
Great observation. I’m perpetually amazed that American blacks, who are usually so quick to perceive phoniness in all its forms, continue to buy his line.
I think that the next major technological jump will be in secret, lest the gvt. regulate it out of existence.
I am here walking my dog waiting patiently for him to invent stuff.I will pick it up, bag it and throw it on the trash. See anyone, even your dog can invent stuff! The idiocy amazes me still
The alleged president is not able to deal with details; however, I wonder if there might be more to it.
I'm not an expert (so corrections invited); but could this qualify as a grandiose fantasy that is typical of the malignant narcissist ?

Why? The government will just steal all the profits.
Excerpt from the speech he gave:
“Since early in my term, our efforts to invent stuff have been under review. With the advice of the Vice President, who is Chairman of the National Invent Stuff Council, we have examined where we are strong and where we are not, where we may succeed and where we may not. Now it is time to take longer strides-time for a great new American enterprise-time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in the inventing of stuff, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on earth.”
Oh, my, how far we have fallen in 50 years.
He’s functionally illiterate.
Well, if you want to get real, there shouldn’t be any tax rates at all based on income, production, or investments, etc. Just an excise tax on consumption. But, until we get back to constitutional reality, I will take all the reductions and incentives I can get.
Dude...Market your stuff as dude. I'll bet you can sell it on Ebay.
That’s why I say all hell will break loose if he is re-elected in 2012. People will tell them to go to hell and begin to fight back. The “takers” vs the “producers”. Going Galt will intensify.
