'Fox And Friends' To Little Girls: Did The Government Help You Start Lemonade Stand?
Earlier this month, Obama said that businesses needed infrastructure investment to succeed. "If you've got a business, you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen," he said. Mitt Romney took the line out of context, and used it to attack the president for being anti-business.
On Tuesday, "Fox and Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade turned to four-year old Eliza and seven-year old Clara Sutton to ask if they had government help when they founded their lemonade stand.
"Who helped you start this business?" Kilmeade wanted to know. Later, he asked, "Clara, how do you feel about the President saying that you needed help to start this business? And just speak from, speak from within."

(2,049 posts)the lemons in their yard? or did their parents drive to a store located directly on a public road? Did the store grow the lemons, or did they get delivered to the store over public roads, bridges, tunnels, etc? Did they get the water from their pond or did it come from taxpayer subsidized city water system? Is the lemonade stand located on a public sidewalk or a public road? People take so much for granted when it comes to government, I just wish the democrats had the stomach to stand up for government. This is a conversation that we need to have. If the next Walmart wants to be free of taxpayer handouts it better be locating in the middle of a field, not served by a public road with a convenient driveway. They should get their power from self-generated sources and not from public utilities. They should be out of the public loop when it comes to police, fire, etc. They shouldn't have access to courts either. And all of their products would have to be unprotected by everything from UL underwriting to FDA to CDC which would open them up to all kinds of liability.

Here's the news story:

(3,338 posts)whatever is the point they are trying to make?
Why not then ask the girls if they believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
I am just guessing that their parents bought the lemonade mix, oh and pay the
water bills, and buy or rent the house they are living in, where they can put the lemonade stand
in the front - so, the answer would be no, they did not build that lemonade stand themselves!
