LBJ was another Texan who helped his rich get richer. Then he got elected President and passed all those Civil Right’s laws in the 1960’s:
Perry has received a total of $37 million over the last decade from just 150 individuals and couples, who are likely to form the backbone of his new effort to win the Republican presidential nomination. The tally represented more than a third of the $102 million he had raised as governor through December, according to data compiled by the watchdog group Texans for Public Justice.
Nearly half of those mega-donors received hefty business contracts, tax breaks or appointments under Perry, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis.
I suspect that if Perry succeeds (not secedes) to the Oval Office he will just continue to help the rich get richer.
