The whole "you didn't build that" thing is basically a Truism. This video
even highlights the truism in a way- of course we're talking about a little
school girl, but let's take that example anyway. In fact, it's quite true that
she couldn't build her school project without the raw materials (which someone
else paid for). The acknowledgment of that fact isn't even controversial. When you look at the right wing argument in this light, it's
totally ridiculous- OF COURSE businesses use the roads, police forces, education
systems, and copyright laws of the government to enhance their ability to build
their businesses. Obviously the little girl couldn't build her project if she
didn't have the support of the school, her parents, etc. That such a banal
point has been blown up into the centerpiece of the Republican attack machine
just shows how pathetic their campaign and program is right now.
