About This Quote
When a person says that it is imperative that we replace those who think they own this country, with those who built it, he is trying to tell us that the people who built America are the ones who should be in charge of this country. It is important to remember that it was the American people who built this country, not the leaders of other countries. In other words, even though you may have been born in America, it is your responsibility to care for and look out for the needs of all Americans.
