This plays a huge part. The narrative on the right is that the rich got rich solely by their own talent and skill, and that the poor are poor because they are lazy. Of course there are qualifications made, but this is the underlying theme. Obama made a point that rich business people actually utilize a lot of public infrastructure and got where they are through collaboration. That led to a new line of attack and outrage that one could suggest that the rich didn't build their business themselves on the part of Republicans.
