More: The connections between Hunt Oil Company and the Bush Administration are numerous:

* Mr. Ray Hunt, CEO of Hunt Oil, acted as the finance chairman of the Republican National Committee for President George W. Bush in 2002, led the Republican National Committee's Victory Fund for President George W. Bush and personally donated $20,000 to the Committee.

* Mr. Hunt contributed $100,000 toward inaugural festivities for President George W. Bush in 2001, while Hunt Consolidated contributed $250,000 toward the 2005 Bush presidential inaugural gala.

* Mr. Hunt has also given generously toward construction of the Bush library by securing $35 million in additional property for the endeavor.

* President George W. Bush has twice appointed Mr. Hunt to a seat on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB), which is said to have access to intelligence that experts acknowledge is advantageous to the international energy interest of the Hunt Oil Company.

I think the Hunt Brothers Silver scheme way back in the mid 20th century...says it all. Laws don't apply to them because they are exploitation experts with many lackeys in and out of government. Our descendants will continue to pay the price, possibly forever.
This time in our history is very reminiscent of the time of the Grant administration. The damage, to African Americans (Jim Crow Laws), Native Americans (Dawes Act), Homesteaders (Robber Barons) and other groups not related to the Civil War and business cronies of U. Grant, has taken more than a century to fix. If it ever truly can be fixed.

As much as there are SOOOOOO many things wrong with big business and government, this is one of those things that just galls the shit out of me.
