From a friend watching the Olympics: "How about that Michael Phelps? But let's remember he didn't win all those medals, someone else did. After all, he and I swam in public pools, built by state employees using tax dollars. He got training from the USOC, and ate food grown by the Department of Agriculture. He should play fair and share his medals with people like me, who can barely keep my head above water, let alone swim."

I'm guessing that this is political satire? Someone trying to draw an analogy between this and higher taxes for the wealthy?

Ie. It's stupid to say you deserve part of Phelps victory because he used tax-payer supported infrastructure to get there -- and it's stupid to say you deserve more of a rich man's wealth (via taxes) because he used tax-payer supported infrastructure to become wealthy.

Something like that? Hard to know without more context.

Meh... I got the gist of it.

I'm not American, and since the entire American political spectrum is well to the right-side of wacky, I don't bother following closely enough to recognize the exact phraseology in use at the moment.

So should I tell Mr. Obama that he didn't win the presidency because he used infrastructure supported by taxpayers, then?
I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.
