We don’t want GE and their Marxists ilk here in Texas.
Their CEO is an Obama boot licker and scumbag democRAT.
This is proof GE has a social agenda.
Better yet, open a new Electrical equipment manufacturer to compete with GE and run them out of business. Bring jobs back to the US!
Let them locate in a state that has an INCOME TAX and see how much their execs like it.
Why should a State accommodate an incoming Company's political stance rather than the incoming Company accommodating and accepting the state's political rightness?!?
Texas ain't New York...good luck finding a State Income Tax FREE 'liberal' leaning State.
GE, you've made your bed, now enjoy your resting place.
GE disses Texas for opposing the Import-Export Bank. That’s a Badge of Honor for Texans.
Remember GE not paying taxes for at least the first two years of the obummer Admin? You know there had to be some serious knee and butt action going on there.

Corporate welfare queens
Screw GE. They are at the top of the crony capitalist heap. You don’t want that kind polluting Texas.
GE buys liberal politicians for pennies on the dollar... they’ve done very well in the ‘green’ scams....
I do not purchase any GE products.
Jeff Immelt, the CEO, is a POS who has threatened to move production out of the US if the Export/Import Bill is not passed. In other words, he wants US taxpayers to subsidize his business. He could care less that GE has plenty of cash and that US workers would be fired.
The one piece of good news is that Immelt has been completely unsuccessful in raising the share price of GE stock. It has languished essentially in the same place for years under his leadership.
GE has a funny way of expressing that “opposition,” with existing and expanding major manufacturing facilities in Houston (Water and Electrical), Oil & Gas (New Braunfels), and Locomotives (Ft. Worth), probably more that I don’t know about.
GE has the right to locate where they wish
IE Bank must be important to them
If they’d move to Mississippi the whole state would embrace that bank.....
But they’d have to import workers
As Nissan learned in Canton the black unemployed labor pool ain’t all that eager to get off the porch
Honestly, north Texas has about all the imports we need right now. Won’t miss GE one bit.
Ex-Im is the wrong fight. How about cutting NPR, the Adcouncil, Planned (Murder) Parenthood, etc. first?
GE buys and sells politicians. This would not stop them.
Somebody just gave them more free stuff to stay.
