Quote:
Neil Bush founded Ignite Incorporated, a software company that helps students prepare to take comprehensive tests required under the No Child Left Behind act.

Ignite wanted 30 dollars-per-year-per-student for its software for this deal, netting 60 million dollars.

Also, Neil is a big fan of outsourcing, one of Shrub's driving influences on our economy. He has made great strides increasing Ignite's profitability by outsourcing Ignite jobs to Mexico. (WP):

Ahh yes... corporate whorism is a "family affair". Part of the "Family Value" agenda no doubt.

2. Any * idea ask how will it put money and or power into *, his family,

..... or friends.

Good to see that the over $1,000,000,000.00 spent to bail Neil out of Silverado
has not made him loose his love for a scam.

What a family of turds.

3. I think Neil has his own definition of "no child left behind" and it

doesn't involve education. :eyes:

4. This started here in Florida the second we got the no-child etc

crap 4 years ago.

5. And, remember, neil got lots of the funding from the Saudis for Ignite

He did several fund-raising trips to Saudi Arabia and got them to fund the company.

The Bush family doesn't get any money by earning it, like working at a job or actually running a company in a competitive market.

They look for a way to tap into the ever-flowing stream of taxpayer dollars and arrange a way for some of it to be diverted their way. They look for special "Halliburton" type deals on things, they buy legislation to support payment to them for something, they get the government to condemn valuable land and give it to them for a profit-making enterprise (GWB and the baseball stadium).

Just look at every single one of their deals (and their Dad's and their Uncle's). They travel in some pretty shady company and all their money is taken from regular folks like you and me. None of it is paid to them for providing a competitive product or service in a competitive market. I think they realize that's really hard work and they prefer to avoid that.

6. I thought Neil was for

ALL childs left (and right) behinds. At least that was the case in Thailand.
