If you are an astute businessman, you will soon realize that the government is your dream customer, slow, stupid and rich.
Ross Perot came to this conclusion and became one of the richest men in the world because of it. It's almost hard to believe that a little chicken necked conservative like Perot made his billions by milking the welfare system.
Perot saw that the government is the perfect customer because it is Slow, Stupid and Rich.Private industry takeover of government programs is not a new phenomenon. In the early 1960s Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Systems won the contract to manage the Texas Medicaid program. "For years," writes Washington Post reporter Judith Havemann, "states have been relying on business to carry out what used to be considered government work; food conglomerates manage school cafeterias and banks in many areas have taken over the collection of taxes. More recently, an entire new industry has emerged to run prisons." Time magazine notes that passage of the welfare reform bill set off a "welfare-management goldrush."

This is also the principle behind why the giant sloth is extinct. The sloth was so slow and docile that it was fabulously easy to hunt and kill. You didn't even need a bow and arrow. You could walk up and hit it in the head with a club. And once you killed one, you could live on it until the meat you couldn't eat rotted and then you would kill another one. There is evidence that the human migration which populated the Americas from the Bering Strait to Patagonia was a quest for the easy meat of the giant sloth.
Stone Age man finally hunted them into extinction because they were such easy meat.
Now the only sloth we have left is the three toed sloth. You know what the three toes are called? Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The sloth is not as big, but it's still easy meat. Slow, Stupid and Rich.
