I started life as the son of a share-cropper. I worked hard all my life and am now in the 1%. The blessing and luck and good fortune I had were parents that instilled the sense of hard work and a God who gave me health along the way. Beyond that, I worked for it.
Within a year my son had the company on it's feet and turning a small profit.
Within 2 years he expanded the business to include commercial work specifically restaurants.
Within 5 years he had turned it into a national project management company for chain restaurants doing equipment installation, HVAC, electrical work, etc.
Today his multimillion dollar company has four offices and about 300 employees. His uncle is comfortably retired, another uncle and my younger son are working for him.
His success was not due to luck. It was due to hard work, sacrifice, having an idea and pursuing it, and a lot of sleepless nights.
Knowing all that my son has been through and is still going through establishing and running this business it makes me furious when Obama says thing like this.
My son has used his hard work and determination for good. He has created jobs, treated people and companies fairly, and offers a good service to other companies.
Everything Obama has done and wants to do is out of hate and used for destruction.
