Damn, that's good

Glenn Reynolds links to a killer point, in my opinion.  What Obama said recently is to be found in Atlas Shrugged!  You didn't build that business?  Hey, Obama can't be that smart if he made a mistake like that.

Here's the quote lifted from Reynold's piece below:

“He didn’t invent iron ore and blast furnaces, did he?”

“Who?”

“Rearden. He didn’t invent smelting and chemistry and air compression. He couldn’t have invented his Metal but for thousands and thousands of other people. His Metal! Why does he think it’s his? Why does he think it’s his invention? Everybody uses the work of everybody else. Nobody ever invents anything.”

She said, puzzled, “But the iron ore and all those other things were there all the time. Why didn’t anybody else make that Metal, but Mr. Rearden did?”

I threw in the emphasis.  "Nobody ever invents anything."  Wow.  Maybe we should get rid of copyrights, patents, trademarks, and all other intellectual property.  Nobody invents it, so nobody should own it.

What a moronic thing for Obama to say.  It's going to haunt him from now to November.
