Our editorial position on Obama's recent comment on small business.

Obama fundamentally doesn't understand American constitutional law.

The government exists for the people. The government is the servant of the people. Whatever the government built it built for the people. The people paid for whatever the government built with taxes and, occasionally, blood. The people own whatever the government built.

The people do not exist for the government. The people are not the servants of the government.

We do not owe the government a damn thing.

I paid my share for whatever the government has with my taxes, or my father did, or my grandfather did. I am a co-owner of every damn thing Obama mentioned - the internet, roads, police stations, etc.
