POLITICO says, Obama has no patience for ‘you didn’t build that’ attacks

In response to the criticism he’s been getting for saying “you didn’t build that,” President Obama said:

“And if you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to promote success,”

But considering he keeps advocating higher taxes on the successful, I think he probably should have said:

“And if you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to penalize success,”
