How Perry got rich

[OODA_Loop]

SEC investigated and prosecuted Whitewater players but found the President had no culpability.

So you think its only suspecious if they DONT make money?

It would be suspicious if Michael Dell had been under felony indictment for bribery, had been a political fundraiser and had prior business dealings with Perry.

But obama gets a pass from partisan hacks like you.

 

[hortysir]

How much hey did the right make about Obamas ONE realestate deal?

Didn't know anything about it.

Wanna fill me in while you explain why making a profit is somehow illegal???

 

[hortysir]

How did he make money off of his taxpayers?




I'll wait. I'm here all day

The weird thing is it never seems to sink into them just how hypocrafil they are.


They have this weird brain thing were they can just erase all the past to fit their party over EVERYTHING mode.

I wonder how people get like that?

NOOO.....
The weird thing is that you don't realize how ironic that post is!

 

[Truthmatters]

trading land deals for favors is the charge.

Remember the same crap you said about Clinton and Obamas land deals

 

[hortysir]

Remember what they did to Clinton over a failed land deal where he lost money?

Please address my post #42.

 

[Truthmatters]

Did the clintons make money from the deal or lose money?

It was investigated for nearly a decade by a guy who was on the right and hated Clinton.

Nothing was ever found to charge him with.

Live in reality for a change.

Now why are you SO earger to just let Perry off scott free?

Bring your facts to bear if you want me to address it.

Scott-free of what, exactly?

Show me something he did that was illegal or immoral and I'd be happy to condemn that behavior.

Right now all I see is a free enterprise capitalist making a profit.

(isn't that the tenent of our country's founding?)

 

[Mr. Shaman]

hes a career politician, this is not news. It will fun to see how the right and Perry play this issue.


maybe hes a socialist!

That'd be....

ONE way

....to describe his income-generation skills.​

How Rick Perry Got Rich While Working Government Jobs - Conor Friedersdorf, The Atlantic - NationalJournal.com



Perry bought another 10 acres of undeveloped land in 1993. That property drew interest from Michael Dell, a computer magnate who needed Perry's tract to connect his new home to municipal sewer lines. Dell took the property off Perry's hands for $465,000, more than triple what Perry had paid for it two years earlier. Perry reported a $342,994 profit on the sale in his 1995 tax return.

Texas Democrats have repeatedly questioned the sale over the years, in part because Mike Toomey - an influential lobbyist who would later become Perry's chief of staff - closed the deal for Perry while Perry was out of town. Perry has always maintained he didn't know that the land would be so valuable to Dell when he purchased the property.

Here's another example:




Perry purchased the land from state Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Horseshoe Bay, in 2001 for $314,770. Six years later, Perry sold it for $1.1 million, pulling a profit of $823,776. Perry has attributed the gain to a favorable market for Hill Country land. "We bought a piece of property, the property appreciated and we sold it," Perry said last year.

in 2001, I bought a piece of property in Connecticut for $165,000 and sold it 2 years later for $280,000. Am I a corrupt politician?

Politician....not yet

Yeah!!! He sold his land to a *gasp* greedy capitalist!

Well, duh! sold his land at the height of the housing/property boom. Crime? No

In a post that insinuates corruption, David Frum characterizes the deal as follows:..............

Who cares what somewhat insinuates? It is what it is.
No need to be jealous, damn!

One thing that appears to be overlooked in the op-ed, was that Perry most likely BORROWED/MORTGAGED his purchases to begin with.

Ditto, kind of. In 1995 I bought a house for $100k. Moved, rented it out, sold it in 2002 for $150k. I sure miss being able to write of any and all expenses, down to a flippen stamp!
Even when the property was vacant for a few months at a time, I STILL made $ off it. Thank you depreciation!!

you can come no where near my skin little miss sassy pants.
More of that Carl Rove sexy girl man stuff than the turd blossom himself.

Oh horseshit. It's obvious - by the tone of your post - that I irritated you.
Which I have no problem with....
Enjoy !!

1) Where the heck did Rove come into play if this thread was about Perry?
2) I hereby declare, with all the power vested in me, that Warrior, from this day forward, will retain the nickname "little Miss Sassy Pants'.

Wow- that sounds like- COMPETENCE.

Hey, we can always talk about Obama's land deals with Tony Rezko.
