The Agrawals, immigrants from New Delhi, have grown rich on $256 million in preferential U.S. government contracts given to “socially and economically disadvantaged” people living in America. This is U.S. progressivism distilled.
A blissful and easily manipulated premise that government-run charity programs will take care of everyone. Basically, far-left, U.S. progressivism is built on the shoulders of idiot American voters who are taken to the cleaners by people like the Agrawals. According to Bloomberg:
In April 2003, Piyush Agrawal deleted his son’s name as president of APS Technologies Inc. He replaced it with his own on a hand-written filing with the Florida Department of State. That made the 66-year-old retired educator the sole officer and director of the firm and separated its management from a medical supply company run by Agrawal’s two sons. Three months later, he followed his sons into a U.S. program that steers government business to the “socially and economically disadvantaged.” It was the Agrawal family’s second time obtaining federal assistance under a benefit that prescribes that immediate family members should participate only once. The New Delhi immigrants have grown rich on $256 million in government contracts since 1993 through a web of family-owned companies. The Agrawals are still in the nine-year program today, 18 years after first qualifying. They are among 12 repeat participants that have received $412 million in preferential contracts, and more than $1 billion in total government awards, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.
