2012-10-06
President Obama, speaking in Virginia, said, "We don't believe anybody is entitled to success in this country."
"This country doesnÂ’t just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top. It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy doesnÂ’t grow from the top down -- it grows from the middle out. We donÂ’t believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country," said Obama. "But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules."
