Another quote from the following genre Political speech

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there–good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
