Really? That's not clear to me at all.

Absolutely correct. You disagree with that?

Why on earth would an otherwise intelligent person say roads and bridges were "invested" by the government ... and then say they were not built by the business man?...
"otherwise intelligent"

To answer your question, an otherwise intelligent person would say that because it is true.

Make zero sense- even Elchivito does not take your view- "His point that most successful people owe their success at least in part to others and sometimes even to a government leg-up is hardly revolutionary."
I agree with that interpretation.

That's fine. I just don't see the video being much an analogy to the stench thing.
