I actually got that fom a link here on FR. It was an article from some publication. I had saved it until I carelessly forgot to save existing settings when upgrading my operating system and I losts all my bookmarks, desktop items, etc.
I live in Dallas and I remember there were rumors that Perot had it in for G.H.W. Bush over some mysterious failure by Bush to rescue some MIAs in Vietnam or some such foolishness and as a result was determined to defeat him. That didn't make sense to me and as it turned out it was a red herring to divert attention fom the real reason, money.
Before the first Gulf War Perot wrote a lengthy article in the Dallas Morning News arguing against the invasion. He basically said give Saddam Kuwait and everything will be fine. It was basically a hit piece on Bush.
He and his son bought a lot of farm land in Tarrant and Denton counties and then built a large airport for cargo planes, Alliance Airport, with mostly government money. When the City of Ft. Worth, who had jurisdiction and had put up some of the money, had the timerity to want to manage the airport, the Perots went to work behind the scenes and stopped that. Perot runs it.
Perot, Jr. bought the Dallas Mavericks and shortly afterward they abandoned a perfectly good and relatively new arena and had the City of Dallas build them a bigger new one.
It seems to be all about money and primarily someone elses.
Google Ross Perot, Clinton, Healthcare and lots of things come up.
Thanks for the info!
I recall reading just about the same that you did about Perot's positioning to run a good portion of HillaryCare. The info came out when a government report became available that showed the five or so districts into which the country would be divided for administration of health benefits. Perot's company was to get two of the five as I recall. Something pretty close to that.
