Supposedly, Rick Scott bought the Republican Primary for governor of Florida for $40 million. If the salary for the governor was $200,000 (exaggerated) per year and he term limited out in eight years, that would be 4 percent of his investment into the office at the end of eight years.
It makes good campaign fodder, but sounds a little absurd when you analyze it. Someone explain to me what you get in return when you buy an election and you are worth $200 million. Benefits?
Rick Scott's fine for his company's fraud cost the hospitals $1.7 billion and he was not even interrogated much less jailed for the charge. My curiosity is who got the $1.7 billion the hospitals paid out? Did the fine go to pay for services rendered or did the Tallahassee or Washington government insiders just decide to redistribute the wealth?
