The new tax credit of 2,400 per veteran perhaps? Did my math work out right? One point two million in tax credits? I wonder how long they must keep a veteran to receive the credit? Aren’t tax credits paid by the rest of us? I am a veteran, have two flag- draped coffins in my family before folks start the foolishness. This is just GE PR stunt to bilk taxpayers and probably veterans as well. I just don’t trust them.
Stat: Overall union membership increased by 49,000 from 2010 to 2011, including 15,000 new 16- to 24-year-old members, according to new U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data out this morning [Jan 27, 2012]. An increase of 110,000 in the private sector was partially offset by a decline of 61,000 in the public sector, making the rate of union membership essentially unchanged at 11.8 percent, with some 14.8 million U.S. workers union members.
I agree but if 5000 vets make out, better than the usual which is GE uses “green” initiatives to rip off the tax payer and vets get squat.
For the record, I am completely against crony capitalism. I would prefer they not get ANY anything. We’re literally only a few short steps away from straight fascism at this point.
