Anyone from Houston who has followed the entire Bush family would not be surprised by what this idiot is saying. The first, second and third things that the Bush family covets are sticking their fingers in to the taxpayers pockets. From Prescott Bush forward the entire family has been making big money off government at all levels. They help their cronies to the government troughs and spread the wealth around. The entire Bush family leverages their political connections to get their family members on boards of various businesses. Many times in the past they have obtained pre-IPO or insider level stock on the cheap and then turned that stock on the open market. At times this has involved what some consider pump and dump schemes but on occasion they actually get connected to a company that goes somewhere. Examples of times that things did not work out too well can be found in deals like Silverado Savings and Harken that involved Neil Bush and George W. Bush.
Sometimes the Bush family does public deals that are obvious taxpayer funded which they benefit from. Examples of this are George W. Bush and the Texas stadium deal and Neil Bush and that stupid Ignite company and the Kopin pump and dump. Barbara Bush herself was strong arming the Houston ISD pushing Ignite. Ignite was funded by a host of morons including the Arabs. People and entities that would have never put a penny in to such a dumb venture but they did for the Bush family.
Speaking of Arabs, Jeb Bush, when he is not allowing young women to rot to death, loves the Arabs. You can do your own research on that.
From birth all of the living of the Bush family have experienced a life that most of us cannot fathom. And we live lives that they can only pretend to understand. Imagine, always living in the best places, traveling in the best ways, eating the best food and never being concerned about money. Don’t get me wrong, they do appreciate the little people, the servants, the TAXPAYERS. And if you are good they will or someone who works for them write you a nice little note or maybe even give you a call. They won’t even tell the media about their “kindness” but expect the media to tell you about these interactions with the little people.
As I have said for many years, it is a good deal if you can get it. The drunkard former Gov. of Texas Ann Richards made the famous “silver foot in his mouth” when referring to “W” Bush. More accurately put the entire family was born with a silver serving set and a set of limos.
This country needs people in Congress, in the Presidency, in the bureaucracy who are misers. We need some very stingy people who will protect the treasury. Jeb Bush sees the US Treasury as his toy box. He has always seen government dollars and assets as his play toys. It is not his fault, he was born and raised that way and knows nothing else. He is not interested in anything else. That’s why he wants more of what he thinks are new taxpayers ala illegals in this country. A side benefit is that all the companies that want cheap labor here in the US will give Bush family members board seats and almost free stock to turn for big profits.
His family wants to extend their franchise, so to speak, in to new areas. What do you think the “New World Order” was all about? When your family has learned to parasite off the state, local and federal coffers then why not expand the territory to other countries. It has worked with the Saudis who will put millions in to anything the Bush family asks them to. So what if it does not make money, that is not the goal, the goal is to fleece the people who get left holding the bag.
Some may say all of this kind of sounds like some kind of organized criminal enterprise. People like the Bill Clinton family, the Al Gore family, the Harry Reid family, the Nancy Pelosi family, the Obama family, the Barbara Boxer family and many others would disagree. Why? Because they are doing the same thing and most everyone else in Washington is after the same golden ring — money.
Representative Republic? Free Republic? That ship has sailed. The only ship left is full of pirates and anyone that tries to fight the pirates gets put down.
The lines between the elitist political class and the bedrock population have never been more clearly defined as they are today.
If Jeb pulls this off and gets himself elected it will be an indicator that the special interests and lobbyists are completely and without equivocation in control of the entire process.

True capitalism was instrumental in building up this country, and Crony capitalism is instrumental in tearing this country down.
