Sometimes I wonder if the NYT would be better off the readers wrote the paper and the idiot reporters were allowed to comment on what they wrote. Here's a comment by a reader on an article that had absolutely no information on GE's rotten record. --- I don't know, this guy sounds perfect for the Obama administration. I mean, his company, G.E., is listed as the 4th largest corporate prodocer of air pollution in the United States, and has dumped more toxic PCB's into our rivers than any company in history. From a profit standpoint, in the last 10 years or so, they have transformed into a financial firm, with over half of their revenue derived from financial services. Obama loves those guys. The Washington Post reported in December that G.E. was one of the primary corporate beneficiaries of taxpayer bailout money. Most people didn't know that at the time because the government tried to keep it secret. CNN reported that on $10.3 billion in pretax income, G.E. paid ZERO dollars in U.S. taxes in 2009. Jeffery Immelt's total compensation in 2009 was almost $10 million and Forbes ranked him as the 13th most powerful person in the world. Like I said, he sounds perfect. Change we can believe in. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
