User Clip: President Obama's "You didn't build that" Speech Contradicts Catholic Teaching

President Obama's "You Didn't build that" speech, contradicts what Catholics believe. However, there was a different context. The President also claimed "We created a lot of millionaires" and other claims. What this speech really shows, is his impossible belief that the government through centralized planning, collectivism and thus socialism creates initiative, economic activity and success. Catholicism rejects these (his) beliefs in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) in sections CCC 1883, 1885, 2425, 2429 and 2431.

Go to the minutes 51:4 to 52:55 on the video to see where Obama said these things below and the disdain with which he said them:

1. "We created a lot of millionaires."

2. "If you've been successful you didn't get there on your own."

3. "If you've got a business... you didn't build that."

4. "Government research created the internet." close
