Immelt drove GE into the ground, and now he’s in a position to help the Clown Chief drive this country into the ground.

Doesn’t shock me. America voted these idiots in. Let them reap the benefits. Ugh, despicable.

Um, let’s all remember one thing here: businesses do not pay taxes, period. Taxes are a cost of doing business that get passed along in the cost of the business’ product or service. Whoever buys the product or service pays the tax, not the business. The business merely collects it for the government.

It’s easy to get upset in a knee-jerk reaction here because we all hate GE, but in so doing, do we want to be espousing the benefits of taxation on business?

Good grief. GE gets away with paying no taxes, and yet there were idiots on a thread last night, getting all high and mighty about what a terrible offence it is that regular joes get to deduct their mortgage interest from their income taxes.

Priorities, people, priorities.

Fair Tax, anyone? Businesses would stop tax sheltering overseas and both their tax revenue and our jobs would stay home in the U.S.

Good for GE.

Way to go.

If anyone is unaware of the fact that the US has the world’s largest capital rate, then go look it up.

Why should large corporations fork over billions of dollars to endorse Socialism in Washington DC? You and I as individuals look for ways to save our own money. Why shouldn’t GE?

Its American tax bill? None. In fact, G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.

"A tax benefit"? So when GE got finished with it's taxes, it ended up with $3.2 billion more from the US than it started with? Impressive - most welfare leeches don't get anywhere near that kind of money.

Even took Imelt on vacation to Brazil too! I’m sure that Jeffrey didn’t pay a dime or maybe it was one red cent.
