American Future Fund is releasing a new online ad today titled “Didn’t Build That.” The ad takes President Obama head on in claims that his harsh words for small business owners have been twisted. The ad provides full context of President Obama’s stunning speech telling American business owners that they are not responsible for their own success.

Obama’s speech gets to the root of his true beliefs about this country. He believes that government spending makes businesses possible – even claiming that without government spending, the internet would not have been invented. He argues that government creates opportunity and success for business owners and therefore we should pay more taxes to support government.

AFF Founder Nick Ryan said, “It is clear our President lacks any real understanding or appreciation for how the private sector works. The President has a shockingly naïve viewpoint on what makes the American economy tick. The endless sacrifice and hard work of small business women and men in this country is unparalleled and is the backbone of our economic success. It is no wonder our economy remains stuck in a rut with a president who espouses these views.”
