ORIGINAL: luckydawg So you want a revolution and support everything Obama does. Really fucking funny. This is starting to look like something Newt cooked up to call yall out. I think you may be a tad confused. This 'revolution' as you call it is NOT by any means in support of Obama or anyone in Washington. It is against the practice of our congressmen and senators being bought and paid for WHORES to the banks and other large corps. Seriously, do you think it is equitable that you probably paid more taxes last year than GE? I did. Nope you are the one who is confused. Of course it is not a pro Obama event. However folks like Tazzy and other advocates for this movement, worked hard to get Obama elected, and have defended essentailly everything he has done, including TARP, which is what they ar enow protesting. Its fucking funny. and Seriously, the people employed by GE paid probably a million times what you did in income tax. and GE got out of paying any tax by spending money on things like Solar Panels, employing disabled folks, and other actions that have been decided by the governemnt to be of social value. far more than anything you have contributed to society. and I am sure GE paid a matching Payroll tax on its employees at least hundreds of thousands of times more than your total tax bill. I bet they paid a fair amount of sales tax on things they buy to run thier bussiness, both raw materials and supplies. I would guess that the sales tax on the amount of "post it notes" they paid would dwarf your total tax bill. Not to mention employing tens of thousands of Americans, What exactly is your beef with them? Seriously I don't see the problem. It's not a pro Obama event but it's all Obama supporters. Got any evidence of that? The employees of GE don't pay income tax in the US because they dont live in the US. http://www.cwalocal4250.org/outsourcing/binarydata/GE%20Role.pdf http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml http://www.outsourcing.com/content.asp?page=01b/other/oe/q304/ge.html&nonav=true http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/08/national/main654160.shtml As for your last sentence, it should read "Not to mention employing tens of thousands of NON americans. How do they do that and get tax breaks? They make big contributions to the campaign funds of our so called leaders. In other words, they buy them. It isn't just GE. Dozens of large corps offshore their work and leverage a few million in campaign contributions into billions in tax savings. Who pays? me and you.
