“He has created two funds. One, the Texas Enterprises Fund, gives out grants to companies, many of them established companies such as the ones mentioned in this article”

In either case, it is crony capitalism, since both funds are underwritten by the taxpayers. The companies benefiting from state taxpayers largesse are contributing some of those same bucks right back to Rick Perry.

You make a distinction which is irrelevant.

Not at all. It is notorious that dramatically better emerging technology is "disruptive" and as a result has great difficulty in making it into the marketplace. the extensive work of Dr. Christiansen of Harvard Business School, particularly his classic "The Innovator's Dilemma." I would doubt, based on this nonsensical response by you that you have have had any experience working with bringing disruptive technology into the marketplace. Am I not correct? The way the two funds are set up indicates that Governor Perrty is capable of being forcefully articulate in expressing their purposes and in recognizing market realities whereas you appear to be incapable of comprhending the actual purposes of their being established and seem to have no knowledge of the actualities of the marketplace.

Not so .. monies from the Texas Enterprise Fund and been instrumental in inducing many of those companies to build facilities in Texas and move jobs there as well.
