It’s a great speech everyone should memorize. And when anyone talks about the rich it should be noted that usually the rich need to hire people to become rich and stay rich. That doesn’t click in people’s minds and it’s the reason that they don’t think of the rich as job producers.
And it is nice to bash liberal professors. They deserve it. He uses the phrase those who can't do, teach. But there is something to be said for those who teach effectively. Some just don't have the skill.
Your link says, “Absolutely best commencement speech ever written— but never delivered.”
“speech is from a book Neal Bortz wrote in 1998, and NOT AN ACTUAL SPEECH HE recently gave at TEXAS A&M”
So I’m guessing he didn’t really get a standing ovation, given that he never delivered this speech.
Great read though. I was really with him all the way until I found that your link said he never delivered the speech. Shame. It would be something to see this speech delivered to a bunch of starry-eyed, mush-minded liberal students. Be something 20 years later if they ever thought back on it.
Being that it is a fantasy commencement, it is still a great read for a conservative. Must read, really.
“In other words, the rich don’t get rich by themselves. They have to hire people.”
If POS Barrie gets wind of that he’ll say that is what he meant, and that he supports small business owners....while raping them with his union and government thugs.
