A sign in Broken Arrow is raising some eyebrows.

The sign is hanging next to Additive Systems, Inc. on Main Street in Broken Arrow.

It says "'We' built this business without gov't. help. Obama can kiss our a**."

It goes on to say, "I'm Bob Roggendorff and I approve this message."

While our crew was on scene, a man pulled over just to get a picture of it.

"I was just driving by, saw it, kind of stuck out, figured I might as well take a picture for myself," says John. "It's pro-American, anti-Obama."

Late Thursday afternoon, an Additive Systems spokesperson gave us this statement about the sign: "We at Additive Systems Inc. are passionate about doing our part to see the United States move in the right direction. We realize our sign has an edge to it, but we've received overwhelming support for our statement and we think a healthy debate is good for our country. We encourage everyone to make an informed decision when they head to the polls this November."

    I built my damn business with my money and my sweat and tears and without any government money, sure I didn't build the roads that my customers drive to my business on, but I DID help pay for them, so I made my contribution through my taxes, so Obama can kiss my ass too........

    The news people make it sounds like this is the only place that is doing this. Their are protest signs all over America on Obama and their are to many small businesses having the same signs on their place of business.The vise president was refuse a photo opt in a bakery just the other day.So here we go the lame stream media not telling the people in the country whats really going on.

    Having opened two businesses, I promise you that government was a hinderance instead of an asset. I ended up doing it all, on my own, with no help except for the bank that believed in me. The banker got used to me calling and asking her if she wanted to go on another financial adventure with me again. We had a great relationship. I understand that those decisions aren't made like that anymore. The bored or board, depending on how you look at it, would put me through the ringer today and even then might turn me down.
    No, I built that business and paid the taxes to build the roads. I don't owe anyone anything except for my family that put up with me through thick and thin. Not government.
    I hope Roggendorff gets rich off selling his banners to others and we see an ocean of banners all across this country. Wouldn't that be something?

    I believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.
    Obama thinks government is the answer to everything !!!!!!

    I own a small business and guess how much help I asked for or received from the government? NONE.

    And before you ignorant liberals start with you scripted sound bites about "bridges, roads and teachers." Guess who paid for the bridges, roads and teachers to exist? It was the private sector tax payers and private owned businesses. You see the government doesn't have a single dime that it did not take from someone else. Their's you little lesson for the day. Oh and guess what, North Korea has roads, bridges and teachers too. How are they doing?

    What I believe is happening is that the left is reading the handwriting on the wall and resigning itself to the harsh reality [that] the man they trusted to "fundamentally transform America" is on the verge of being unelected.

    For God's sake, here - TRY to learn SOMEthing:

    http://online.wsj.com/article...

    It's an urban legend that the government launched the Internet. The myth is that the Pentagon created the Internet to keep its communications lines up even in a nuclear strike. The truth is a more interesting story about how innovation happens—and about how hard it is to build successful technology companies even once the government gets out of the way.

    none of that would have happend without a government.

    and that is just one example...

    there are roads

    and education system

    water

    electricity

    oh, and money... don't forget the money.

    you are wrong and you are grasping at the thinnest or reeds to save you...

    its kinda pathetic.

    Hey lee, who paid for those roads and bridges and things. It was the private sector tax payers and private owned businesses. You see the government doesn't have a single dime that it did not take from someone else. Oh and electricity comes from privately owned power companies, you dolt. Oh, and guess what, North Korea has lots of roads and bridges too. How are they doing? How's their business and prosperity? Where's is their great innovations and inventions? How's their middle class doing? Oops, they don't have one. You know, Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany also had roads and bridges. Lots of them, nice ones too. How'd they do?

    Nice try liberal. You're are quitting the debate because you lost. Besides I never called you a Nazi. I simply implied that the Nazis built plenty of bridges and roads and trained and employed many teachers.

    Not clear how taxes work? LOL! it's pretty simple. The productivity of the private sector workers of all levels and the infrastructure and leadership of the private sector employers creates wealth based on the simple principals of the supply and demand, free-market economy. Then the government dictates by law that a certain percentage of those profits and earning are taking from the producers to fund the government. The government also adds more taxes to everything you do (sales tax, property tax, gasoline tax, hotel tax, estate tax, self employment tax, marriage penalty, etc.). And many of those taxes go to welfare and entitlements programs for the lazy, useless, permanent-adolescent, drug-addled burdens to society. You know, the losers in life. The ones too week and scared to ever consider being self reliant, and too selfish to ever consider taking responsibility for their own actions. All of which seem to be liberals and vote for the party that keeps supplying the free money and never-ending promises promises.

    Now, you tell me how you think taxes work. LOL!

    Seriously, how old are you really? If you are indeed 52, then you have spent decades doing a lot of drugs, because this is like conversing with a preteen.

    Oh, and you never told me your idea of "how taxes work". I'd love to hear this one.
