Perry Became Millionaire In Politics

August 31, 2011 | ISSUE 47•35

Since entering public office, Texas governor Rick Perry has profited from multiple land deals that, according to critics, were the result of his political connections. What do you think?

I'm not buying it. Everybody knows Perry made his millions through a string of prudent livestock investments in the ’80s.

Yeah, exactly. Being a Texas governor is awesome.
