15. The only business "success" George W. Bush had was from eminent domain
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 03:33 PM by PurityOfEssence
He never could have gotten funding for his business ventures had it not been for daddy's connections, and much of that support came from Saudis. Still, ALL of his ventures were COMPLETE failures except for the Texas Rangers swindling. The only deal that made any money was the Texas Rangers baseball franchise, in which he used family muscle to force people through eminent domain to give up their land for a tenth of what it was worth.

The kicker is this: they bought up MUCH more land than they needed for the project, and sold the remaining land for a huge profit after they'd built the stadium. Bush hates little people, but he can't fuck them hard enough without the help of daddy and friends.

This is the ONLY deal he ever did that wasn't a massive failure, and it was a fraud and only possible through gangsterism.

He's the most powerful nobody since Louis the sixteenth, and hasn't as much character.
