But as 0bama was rumored to have said "you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Of course, he said that of *businesses*,

Actually he said that of infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, etc.) that businesses use.

The government is responsible for building and maintaining the common
structure of our nation that we all rely on, and of course we pay for it thru
our taxes. That is the price for civilization. Otherwise we could be Somalia,
the paradise of no taxation.

So what?

Roads (and other infrastructure) in the US are generally built by private companies granted government contracts, which are paid for with taxes collected from ...(drum roll please)....private businesses and individuals!
