I was making a distinction between "on the backs of others" being the key to success, and the "backs of others" merely being a metaphor (an overblown and slanted one) for the connection that makes a society.

the comment was as Basswipe put it... mirroring the president's similarly asinine "you didn't build that" comment...both having no value beyond an obnoxious attempt to divide people and to dilute achievement..."on the backs of others" suggest that it was done, the vast majority of all success was achieved or is gained "at the expense of others"..... hey, the government needs to step in and "set a schedule for all things" sucessful, cap the amount of success that may achieved in order to minimize the trodding that occurs on the backs of others by the vast majority who become successful
