A little bit of context on Obama's "You didn't build your business yourself" screed

Rush, Hannity and Beck have been playing selected soundbites from Obama's screed a few days ago when he's telling businessmen, "If you own a business..you didn't build that by yourself."

I always wondered what the context of that was....why was he even saying that.

And I finally followed one of the links Rush provided at his website, and it did give the context. Obama is talking about  businessmen who want to give back, by paying a little bit more in taxes.

And then he explains why they're doing it... because they had help along the way.

Of course it only has that one sentence at the front, I'd like to know what he was saying before that - businessmen agree with him about what? Higher taxes?

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

 Now, having said that, he obviously take it waaaaay too far, making it sound like nobody did anything on their own.

 And these two sentences are particularly offensive (in themselves and the tone of voice in which he said them):

I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

Hmmm... I seem to remember Steve Jobs did it all on his own - in his garage. Any computer guy who comes up with an ap... they did it on their own...

Obama seems to be confusing people who work hard to build a business and then have kids, with people who have kids out of wedlock, drop out of school, and then work real hard to make a living...they've made it more difficult on themselves, I'd say.
