Non-sequiter, I am not buying GE products anymore, the government can tax the crap out of them, for all I care. They deserve it as they cost me money personally, no matter who I buy bulbs from.
They took away my choice and cost me money, so I hope they fail or get taxed more.
Again, no. The government does not tax GE, it taxes you. And you pay that tax if you choose to purchase GE products, not purchase GE products, or shop for groceries at a store that uses GE products to light its aisles.
