Who has made the most money under the bush regime these past 4+
years? What American based (technically)company/individual has made the biggest profit to pour back into the cooperate ruled states of America? Facts and figures, please. Halliburton seems like it would be the winner but the oil companies are going great guns also.

2. Well, the percentages are there but I am pretty sure he did not put
money back into the bush regime. I am happy the computer business is better but sorry about the insurance, which is a necessity.

4. That is much too easy. That would be the millions of Americans who
are not rich cooperate owners and executives.

7. Had a bet with myself that it would be the oil companies. After living 25
years in the oil environment in Houston, I know how those good old boys stick together. That is why men who hate yankees embraced the bushies (took about 10-15 or more years) and now consider them to be part of the clan. They had to distance themselves from poppy (too suave and smart) but that sonny boy was just perfect. He never met a drink or a blonde he didn't like and when he was older he found Jesus, the perfect man.

10. the 13000 richest families
Read "Perfectly Legal" and you'll see the figures. For anyone here who thinks they're "rich" or even "well-off", this book is the biggest eye-opener out there.
