If your friend thinks Obama doesn't understand that video, then there's a bridge across the East River that I have for sale and I'd like to talk to him.

Well the first falsehood to start off with is that Bill BOUGHT the original DOS he didn't create it. Now later , programmers changed it in the coming years but the original DOS for IBM was purchased for $50 K.

#2 MS come up with new ideas !! Don't make me laugh... yeah the ones they stole !! The first decade after they went public, they stole more ideas than they created ! Sure they created some, but they weren't great innovators., but they were very good a vicious and destructive business practices !

The trickle down (if it really happens) would occur with or without the tax, we're talking rates going from 35% to 39%, and during the time MS was growing, the tax rates were even higher (in the Reagan years) than we're talking now. So this is another fact they conveniently ignore.

I think anyone who can think analytically is beyond this video !! wink

Sorry to butt in, but I think watching that video temporarily dumbened me...or at least had me doubting my intelligence for a second. shocked
