CarMax co-founder and former CEO Austin Ligon, who will be a featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention, says he and his company's 17,000 employees aren't responsible for his billion dollar company, the government is:
As President Obama has said, I didn't do it alone. I succeeded because we had a committed team of CarMax associates working round the clock to build our business. We found ready capital from healthy and flexible capital markets that allowed us to grow. We benefited from an effective national transportation infrastructure that let us move products from one market to another, and we had cooperation and assistance from federal, state, and local governments in providing clear rules of the road that let us plan and grow our business.

1) that place has always been terrible and I got a terrible vibe the few times I’ve been there.
2) It shall from this point forward be called “carL maRx” instead

One of those guilty successful rich white men.
It has really got to be a bummer for those 17,000 employees when he speaks of THEM in equally disparaging terms.
Buddy, the government is not God.

You see dear King Obama, not even the government can take credit for building itself. Youre nothing without us, you adolescent lying pussy. That is a gross insult to adolescent lying pussies, and ALPU (Adolescent Lying Pussies United) begs to protest.

Well, there you have it: If you can’t trust a used car dealer, who can you trust?

A used car saleman talking to a bunch of liberal politicians.

And then there was the Cash-for-Clunkers scheme that sent a lot of usable used cars to the crusher and that boosted the value of the used cars that remained. Great for CarMax! It also made it next to impossible to find parts for those of us with older cars. The parts we could have found have been crushed. I know this for fact.
To: ColdOne
If I was planning on buying a car from them I wouldn’t now.

Except when he calls himself a Muslim when convenient and Christian when convenient, or calling Kenya his place of birth when convenient and Hawaii when convenient. There are other examples of Obama not staying with the same story.

He’s right. He didn’t build it. Carmax was a spinoff from Circuit City.

The approved talking point is: taxpayers and govt build the roads and nothing would happen without govt and taxpayers building roads. Kinda weak, but it’s all they have.
