Forrest Lucas
So I got curious about who the Lucas was behind Lucas Oil Stadium, where that soccer game was held last night (I’m not alone in my curiosity, apparently – “experts” estimate the company got $30 – $40 million in media exposure from the show). Turns out, the founder, 69-year-old Forrest Lucas, is pretty much the all-American success story, starting as a trucker, never going to college (there’s a lesson there, children) and going on to build a very large automotive lubricants business. Pretty neat story, and you can read it here.
Lucas is the epitome of American Dream, what our country is all about – that is until Obama decided Life Should Be Fair To All. Hogwash.
And to further my point that the very rich are rich because they carve out deals, read what house Lucas owns and what he paid for it. Talk about a deal!!

Read the book “The Millionaire Next Door” and find out how it’s done.
EOS – clearly you have been permanently hypnotized by the Kenyan Muslim Socialist, and we must forget all because of his holy pronouncements. My goodness, on one hand he’s the incompetent fool, on the other hand, he singlehandedly destroys the American Dream. Pick a path, please
Who (beside you, FF) says an incompetent fool can’t destroy the American dream? Obumpski’s proving that he can, every day.
Neat story and interview videos with the Lucas’.

Interesting point: They insisted that all of the furnishings and decor be American made.
