At least Perot- was a legitimate success at business. He didn’t rely on family money and big government handouts.
Perot’s EDS provided some of the earliest computer support for both Medicare and Medicaid. I’m not saying he made his money through handouts, but crony capitalism lined his pockets, too.
Excellent point.
While he may not have been getting “government handouts” he was certainly enriching himself on mega FedGov contracts for his data processing company. To the tune of billion$$$.
