Henry Ross Perot (; June 27, 1930 – July 9, 2019) was an American business magnate, billionaire, politician and philanthropist. He was the founder and chief executive officer of Electronic Information Systems and Perot Systems. He ran an independent entrada in the 1992 U.S. presidential election and a tertiary-party entrada in the 1996 U.South. presidential ballot equally the nominee of the Reform Party, which was formed by grassroots supporters of Perot'southward 1992 entrada. Although he failed to conduct a single state in either election, both campaigns were amongst the strongest presidential showings by a third party or contained candidate in U.Southward. history.

In 1992, Perot announced his intention to run for president and advocated a balanced budget, an cease to the outsourcing of jobs, and the enactment of electronic direct democracy. A June 1992 Gallup poll showed Perot leading a three-way race against President Bush and presumptive Democratic nominee Bill Clinton. Perot briefly withdrew from the race in July, only re-entered the race in early Oct after he qualified for all 50 state ballots. He chose Admiral James Stockdale as his running mate and appeared in the 1992 debates with Bush and Clinton. In the ballot, Perot received xviii.9% of the popular vote, but did not win any electoral votes. Notwithstanding, he won over xix.7 million votes—by far and abroad the nigh votes always for a third-party candidate. He won support from across the ideological and partisan spectrum, just performed best among self-described moderates. Perot ran for president again in 1996, establishing the Reform Political party as a vehicle for his campaign. He won viii.4 percent of the popular vote against President Clinton and Republican nominee Bob Dole.

Perot did not seek public part over again after 1996. He endorsed Republican George W. Bush over Reform nominee Pat Buchanan in the 2000 ballot and supported Republican Manus Romney in 2008 and 2012. In 2009, Dell acquired Perot Systems for $iii.nine billion. According to Forbes, Perot was the 167th richest person in the United States as of 2016.^[1]

Early life, education, and military career [edit]

Ross Perot was born in Texarkana, Texas, the son of Lula May (née Ray) and Gabriel Ross Perot,^[2] a commodity broker specializing in cotton contracts. His patrilineal line traces back to a French-Canadian immigrant to the colony of Louisiana in the 1740s.^{[three] [4]} He attended a local individual schoolhouse, Patty Hill, before graduating from Texas Loftier School in Texarkana in 1947.^{[5] [6]} One of Perot'south babyhood friends was Hayes McClerkin, who afterward became the Speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives and a prominent lawyer in Texarkana, Arkansas.^[7]

Perot started his first job at 8 years old, helping to distribute the Texarkana Gazette as a paperboy. His father died when Perot was 25 years erstwhile. Perot had an older brother, Gabriel Perot Jr., who died as a toddler.^[8]

Perot joined the Boy Scouts of America and made Eagle Scout in 1942, later thirteen months in the programme. He was a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Lookout man Award.^{[nine] [10]}

From 1947 to 1949, he attended Texarkana Junior College, and so entered the The states Naval Academy in 1949 and helped plant its honor system.^{[9] [11]} Perot claimed his appointment notice to the university—sent by telegram—was sent past W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel, Texas'south 34th governor and sometime senator.^[12] Perot served as a junior officeholder on a destroyer, and afterwards, an aircraft carrier from 1953 to 1957.^[xiii] Perot, who had merely ever owned one pair of shoes at a fourth dimension, was shocked to find that he was issued multiple pairs of shoes in the navy, which he would afterward signal to as "possibly my start instance of government waste product".^[8] Perot then went to the Naval Reserve, which he left on June 30, 1961, with the rank of Lieutenant.^[fourteen]

In 1956 Perot married Margot Birmingham, whom he met on a blind appointment as a midshipman docked in Baltimore.^{[13] [8]}

Business [edit]

Afterward he left the Navy in 1957, Perot became a salesman for IBM. He quickly became a summit employee (one year, he fulfilled his annual sales quota in a mere two weeks)^[15] and tried to pitch his ideas^{[ further explanation needed ]} to supervisors, who largely ignored him.^[xvi] He left IBM in 1962 to found Electronic Data Systems (EDS) in Dallas, Texas, and courted large corporations for his data processing services. Perot was denied bids for contracts 77 times before receiving his outset contract. EDS received lucrative contracts from the US regime in the 1960s, computerizing Medicare records. EDS went public in 1968, and the stock price rose from $sixteen a share to $160 inside days. Fortune called Perot the "fastest, richest Texan" in a 1968 comprehend story.^[17] In 1984, General Motors bought a controlling involvement in EDS for $2.four billion.^[xiii]

In 1974, Perot gained some press attention for existence "the biggest private loser ever on the New York Stock Exchange" when his EDS shares dropped $450 million in value in a single day in April 1970.^[18]

Merely before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the regime of Iran imprisoned two EDS employees in a contract dispute. Perot organized and sponsored their rescue. The rescue squad was led by retired United States Army Special Forces Colonel Arthur D. "Balderdash" Simons. When the squad was unable to find a style to extract the two prisoners, they decided to expect for a mob of pro-Ayatollah revolutionaries to tempest the jail and free all 10,000 inmates, many of whom were political prisoners. The two prisoners and so connected with the rescue team, and the team spirited them out of Iran via a risky border crossing into Turkey. The exploit was recounted in the book On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett.^[19] In 1986 this was turned into a 2-part television mini-series (alternatively titled "Teheran") with the actor Burt Lancaster playing the function of Colonel Simons.

In 1984, Perot'south Perot Foundation bought a very early on copy of Magna Carta, 1 of only a few to leave the United Kingdom. The foundation lent it to the National Archives in Washington, D.C. where it was displayed alongside the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. In 2007, the foundation sold it to David Rubenstein, managing director of The Carlyle Grouping for $21.3 million to be used "for medical enquiry, for improving public educational activity and for assisting wounded soldiers and their families".^[20] It remains on brandish at the National Archives.^[21]

After Steve Jobs lost the power struggle at Apple and left to establish NeXT, his affections investor was Perot, who invested over $20 million. Perot believed in Jobs and did not want to miss out, as he had with his risk to invest in Bill Gates'due south fledgling Microsoft.^[22]

In 1988, he founded Perot Systems in Plano, Texas. His son, Ross Perot Jr., somewhen succeeded him as CEO. In September 2009, Perot Systems was caused by Dell for $3.9 billion.^[23]

Political activities [edit]

Early political activities [edit]

After a visit to Lao people's democratic republic in 1969, made at the request of the White House,^[13] in which he met with senior Due north Vietnamese officials, Perot became heavily involved in the Vietnam War POW/MIA outcome. He believed that hundreds of American servicemen were left behind in Southeast Asia at the end of the U.South. interest in the war,^[24] and that regime officials were covering upwardly POW/MIA investigations to avert revealing a drug-smuggling performance used to finance a cloak-and-dagger war in Lao people's democratic republic.^[25] Perot engaged in unauthorized back-channel discussions with Vietnamese officials in the tardily 1980s, which led to fractured relations between Perot and the Reagan and George H. Due west. Bush-league administrations.^{[24] [25]} In 1990, Perot reached an understanding with Vietnam'southward Foreign Ministry building to become its concern agent if diplomatic relations were normalized.^[26] Perot too launched private investigations of, and attacks upon, The states Department of Defense official Richard Armitage.^{[24] [25]}

In Florida in 1990, retired fiscal planner Jack Gargan, employing a famous quotation from the 1976 movie Network, funded a series of "I'g mad every bit hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" newspaper advertisements denouncing Congress for voting to requite legislators pay raises at a time when boilerplate wages nationwide were non increasing. Gargan later founded "Throw the Hypocritical Rascals Out" (THRO), which Perot supported.^[27]

Perot did not support President George H. W. Bush-league, and vigorously opposed the The states' involvement in the 1990–1991 Farsi Gulf War. He unsuccessfully urged Senators to vote confronting the state of war resolution, and began to consider a presidential run.^{[28] [29]}

1992 presidential campaign [edit]

On February 20, 1992, Perot appeared on CNN'due south Larry King Alive and announced his intention to run as an independent if his supporters could get his name on the ballot in all fifty states. With such declared policies equally balancing the federal budget, favoring certain types of gun control, catastrophe the outsourcing of jobs and enacting electronic direct democracy via "electronic boondocks halls," he became a potential candidate and soon polled roughly even with the two major-party candidates.^[thirty]

Perot's candidacy received increasing media attention when the competitive phase of the primary flavour ended for the two major parties. With the insurgent candidacies of Republican Pat Buchanan and Democrat Jerry Chocolate-brown winding down, Perot was the natural beneficiary of populist resentment toward institution politicians. On May 25, 1992, he was featured on the cover of Time with the championship "Waiting for Perot," an innuendo to Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot.^[31]

Several months before the Autonomous and Republican conventions, Perot filled the vacuum of election news, as his supporters began petition drives to get him on the election in all 50 states. This sense of momentum was reinforced when Perot employed two savvy entrada managers in Democrat Hamilton Jordan and Republican Ed Rollins. While Perot was pondering whether to run for office, his supporters established a campaign system United We Stand America. Perot was late in making formal policy proposals, but most of what he did call for was intended to reduce the deficit, such equally a fuel revenue enhancement increase and cutbacks to Social Security.^[32] In June, Perot led a Gallup poll with 39% of the vote.^[33]

In July, the Perot campaign fell into disarray and his polls fell sharply. The 1992 Autonomous National Convention was held on Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16, during which time in that location was increased media coverage of the general election. The Milwaukee Picket reported that Perot's campaign managers were becoming increasingly disillusioned by Perot'south unwillingness to follow their advice to be more specific on issues,^[34] and his need to be in full control of operations.^[34] The Saint petersburg Times reported such tactics equally forcing volunteers to sign loyalty oaths.^[35] Perot's poll numbers had slipped to 25%, and his advisers warned that if he continued to ignore them, he would autumn into single digits. Hamilton Jordan (a high-ranking director in the Perot campaign) allegedly threatened to quit, but senior entrada officials denied this.^[36]

On July 15, Ed Rollins resigned later on Perot fired advertisement specialist Hal Riney, who had worked with Rollins on the Reagan campaign. Rollins would afterwards merits that a member of the campaign accused him of being a Bush found with ties to the Primal Intelligence Agency.^[37] Amid the chaos, Perot's support fell to 20%.^[38] The next day, Perot appear on Larry Male monarch Alive that he would not seek the presidency. He explained that he did non want the Business firm of Representatives to determine the election if the upshot caused the electoral college to be carve up. Perot somewhen stated the reason was that he received threats that digitally contradistinct photographs would be released by the Bush campaign to sabotage his girl's nuptials.^[39] Whatsoever his reasons for withdrawing, his reputation was badly damaged. Many of his supporters felt betrayed, and public opinion polls subsequently showed a largely negative view of Perot that was absent before his decision to end the entrada.^[xl]

In September, he qualified for all l state ballots. On October one, he announced his intention to re-enter the presidential race. He campaigned in 16 states and spent an estimated $12.3 million of his own money.^[41] Perot employed the innovative strategy of purchasing half-hour blocks of time on major networks for infomercial-blazon campaign advertisements; this advertising garnered more viewership than many sitcoms, with 1 Friday night programme in October attracting 10.5 million viewers.^[42]

At one point in June, Perot led the polls with 39% (versus 31% for Bush and 25% for Clinton). Only prior to the debates, Perot received 7–9% support in nationwide polls.^[43] The debates probable played a significant role in his ultimate receipt of almost nineteen% of the pop vote. Although his answers during the debates were ofttimes general, Frank Newport of Gallup ended that Perot "convincingly won the first debate, coming in significantly ahead of both the Democratic challenger Clinton and incumbent President George H.W. Bush".^[44] In the debate, he remarked:

Keep in listen our Constitution predates the Industrial Revolution. Our founders did not know nigh electricity, the railroad train, telephones, radio, tv set, automobiles, airplanes, rockets, nuclear weapons, satellites, or space exploration. At that place'south a lot they didn't know about. It would be interesting to meet what kind of document they'd draft today. Simply keeping it frozen in time won't hack information technology.^[45]

Perot denounced Congress for its inaction in his speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on March 18, 1992; he said:

This city has go a town filled with sound bites, shell games, handlers, media stuntmen who posture, create images, talk, shoot off Roman candles, but don't ever reach anything. We need deeds, non words, in this metropolis.^[46]

In the 1992 election, he received 18.9% of the popular vote, about xix,741,065 votes, just no electoral higher votes, making him the nigh successful third-political party presidential candidate in terms of share of the pop vote since Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 election.^[47] Unlike Perot, however, other 3rd-party candidates since Roosevelt won multiple electoral college votes: Robert La Follette in 1924, Strom Thurmond in 1948, and George Wallace in 1968. Compared with Thurmond and Wallace, who polled very strongly in a minor number of states, Perot's vote was more evenly spread across the country. Perot managed to cease 2nd in two states: In Maine, Perot received thirty.44% of the vote to Bush's xxx.39% (Clinton won with 38.77%); in Utah, Perot received 27.34% of the vote to Clinton'south 24.65% (Bush won with 43.36%). Although Perot did not win a state, he received a plurality of votes in some counties.^{[48] [49]} His popular vote total is all the same by far the nearly ever garnered for a third-party candidate, almost double the previous tape gear up by Wallace in 1968.

A detailed analysis of voting demographics revealed that Perot'due south support drew heavily from across the political spectrum, with 20% of his votes coming from self-described liberals, 27% from cocky-described conservatives, and 53% coming from self-described moderates. Economically, however, the majority of Perot voters (57%) were heart class, earning between $xv,000 and $49,000 annually, with the bulk of the balance drawing from the upper-eye class (29% earning more $l,000 annually).^[fifty] Go out polls also showed that 38% of Perot voters would have otherwise voted for Bush, and 38% would accept voted for Clinton.^[51] Though there were widespread claims that Perot acted as a "spoiler," mail-election analysis suggested that his presence in the race likely did not touch the outcome.^[52] Co-ordinate to Seymour Martin Lipset, the 1992 election had several unique characteristics. Voters felt that economic conditions were worse than they actually were, which harmed Bush-league. A stiff third-party candidate was a rare event. Liberals launched a backfire against 12 years of a bourgeois White House. The chief factor was Clinton's uniting his party, and winning over a number of heterogeneous groups.^[53] In 2016, FiveThirtyEight described the theory that Perot was a spoiler was as "unlikely."^[54]

Based on his functioning in the popular vote in 1992, Perot was entitled to receive federal election funding for 1996. Perot remained in the public eye afterward the election and championed opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). During the entrada, he had urged voters to listen for the "behemothic sucking sound" of American jobs heading south to Mexico should NAFTA be ratified.^[55]

Reform Party and 1996 presidential campaign [edit]

1996 presidential campaign [edit]

Flyer from Perot'due south 1996 presidential entrada

Perot tried to keep his move alive through the mid-1990s, continuing to speak nearly the increasing national debt. He was a prominent campaigner against NAFTA, and frequently claimed that American manufacturing jobs will become to United mexican states. On November 10, 1993, Perot debated with so-Vice President Al Gore on the effect on Larry King Live with an audience of 16 million viewers.^[56] Perot's beliefs during the argue was a source of mirth thereafter, including his repeated pleas to "let me finish" in his southern drawl. The debate was seen by many as finer ending Perot'due south political career.^[57] Support for NAFTA went from 34% to 57%.^[58]

In 1995, he founded the Reform Party and won their presidential nomination for the 1996 United states presidential election. His vice presidential running mate was Pat Choate. Considering of the ballot access laws, he had to run equally an Independent on many land ballots. Perot received eight% of the popular vote in 1996, lower than in the 1992 race, but withal an unusually successful third-political party showing by U.Southward. standards. He spent much less of his ain money in this race than he had four years prior, and he also allowed other people to contribute to his entrada, unlike his prior race. One mutual explanation for the refuse was Perot's exclusion from the presidential debates, based on the preferences of the Democratic and Republican political party candidates. Jamie B. Raskin of Open Debates filed a lawsuit over Perot's exclusion years later.^{[59] [60]}

Afterwards activities [edit]

In the 2000 presidential ballot, Perot refused to become openly involved with the internal Reform Party dispute betwixt supporters of Pat Buchanan and John Hagelin. Perot was reportedly unhappy with what he saw as the disintegration of the party, as well as his own portrayal in the press; thus, he chose to remain tranquillity. He appeared on Larry King Alive four days before the election and endorsed George W. Bush for president. Despite his earlier opposition to NAFTA, Perot remained largely silent about expanded utilise of guest-worker visas in the United States, with Buchanan supporters attributing this silence to his corporate reliance on foreign workers.^[61]

Perot addresses the audition at the "A Time of Remembrance" anniversary in Washington, D.C., September xx, 2008.

In 2005, Perot was asked to testify earlier the Texas Legislature in back up of proposals to extend access to engineering science to students, including making laptops available to them. He supported irresolute the procedure of ownership textbooks by making e-books available and by assuasive schools to buy books at the local level instead of going through the country. In an April 2005 interview, Perot expressed concern well-nigh the state of progress on issues that he had raised in his presidential runs.^[62]

In January 2008, Perot publicly came out confronting Republican candidate John McCain and endorsed Paw Romney for president. He also appear that he would shortly be launching a new website with updated economic graphs and charts.^[63] In June 2008, his blog launched, focusing on entitlements (Medicare, Medicaid, Social security), the U.S. national debt, and related issues.^[64] In 2012, Perot endorsed Romney for president again.^[65] Perot did non give any endorsements for the 2016 election.^[66]

Political views [edit]

Perot did not fit the usual political stereotypes; his views were seen as either pragmatic or populist, depending on the observer, and usually focused on his economic policy, such as balancing the upkeep, to gain support from both Democratic and Republican voters. Perot supported gay rights, stricter gun controls such equally an assault weapons ban and increased inquiry in AIDS.^{[67] [68] [69]}

From 1992, Perot was a pro-option activist, and a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood. He stated that poorer women in particular should take admission to abortions via federal funding. From 2000, he was pro-choice reluctantly.^[70]

Economical policy [edit]

Perot believed taxes should be increased on the wealthy, while spending should be cutting to help pay off the national debt. Perot besides believed the capital gains tax should exist increased, while giving taxation breaks to those starting new businesses.

"Nosotros cut the capital gains tax rate from a maximum rate of 35% to a maximum rate that got every bit depression as 20% during the 1980s. Who got the benefit? The rich did, of class, because that'southward who owns most of the capital avails."

— Not For Sale at Whatsoever Price

In his 1993 book Not For Auction at Any Price,^[71] Perot expressed support for giving tax cuts for small and medium-sized enterprises, equally opposed to larger corporations.^[72] Additionally, Perot supported a balanced budget amendment, stating, "spending should not exceed revenue for 27 consecutive years." On trade, Perot stated that NAFTA caused the trade deficit betwixt Mexico and the United States and a loss of manufacturing jobs.^[73] His position on costless trade and NAFTA became his defining campaign principle of both the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections. Perot argued: "Nosotros have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It's pretty elementary: If y'all're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and y'all tin motility your manufacturing plant due south of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, ... have no health care—that'southward the most expensive unmarried element in making a car—have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don't intendance virtually annihilation simply making coin, there will be a giant sucking sound going south."

... when [Mexico'due south] jobs come up from a dollar an hour to six dollars an hour, and ours go down to six dollars an hour, and and then it'due south leveled once again. Just in the meantime, y'all've wrecked the country with these kinds of deals.
