First, I ask forgiveness in advance. I X-posted this from Politics 2012, where the forum seems to be napping today. It is Sunday and the Olympics are on late, so I get that.
If you haven't seen this, ads for this T-shirt are making the rounds on Facebook.
So...I thought we at DU could have a little fun (and DUers who have Zazzle or Cafe Press accounts could create some products).
The challenge: Re-write this shirt to make it a little more accurate.
For example: Government Didn't Build My Business, But the SBA Loan Didn't Hurt
or
Government Didn't Build My Business, $7 Per Hour Workers Did
