If it is possible to build a business without Government- [View all]

then is it possible to blame 'the government' when business' fail?

Seems to me an awful lot of people blame government for business failures while arrogantly refusing to acknowledge government's support of their creation and success.

Can government be responsible for one and not the other?


(a 'friend' on FB proudly denounced the notion that government had anything to do with the business he created "all by himself" a few weeks ago- Now, he just posted that unless a miracle happens in the next week or two, he will have to start laying off his crew- along with a picture of Pres. Obama with "failure" stamped across his face.)
