Fallacy:
"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." ~ Barack Obama
All technological and social advances are attributed to state intervention and state action.
Response:
Only individuals act. Only individuals choose. Business success is the result of providing a product or service other people believe is valuable to them. In that sense, other people are partly responsible for your success in business. Government, on the other hand, is a drain on business by imposing onerous regulations and taxes that increase the cost of doing business and make sit hard to provide products and services at a rate customers are willing to pay.
