Brilliant response.
 
Listen I am a business man - not a politician.
 
My business grows when we invest in personnel and new lines of business. We do that with various loans and lines of credit.
 
In ten years we have gone from a four person firm - four of us - to one that has over ninety professionals who generate revenue and many, many support staff members.
 
I presume you've heard of bond issues and business lines of credit? You understand that those means of raising money are used to invest in infrastructure and personnel - to help grow a business.
 
Do you have any idea how much money Jerry Jones borrowed to invest in the Dallas Cowboys? Do you realize that that investment -  $140 million - has resulted in a business enterprise that is now worth over $2 billion?
 
It was your kind of thinking that caused our wonderful football program to almost disintegrate in the early 2000s. Instead of investing in the program - spending money - we did nothing, and all of our competition ran right past us.
 
If you don't understand that in every endeavor you have to invest, you don't understand basic business principles, and you apparently watch way too much Fox News. 
 
I won't bother you anymore with this - I'm sure you're way to busy looking for proof that Obama was born in Kenya and is an undercover Muslim.
