General Electric: Greedy Enough?

General Electric: Greedy Enough?, originally uploaded by ⓅⒶⓎⓅⒶⓊⓁ.

Tax Day has been postponed for the rest of us until April 18th, 2011 but for General Electric, with its offshore accounts and numerous tax loopholes it has been postponed forever. Shouldn't even the members of the Tea Party be clamoring for them to pay their fair share? According to the NY Times G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.

General could do a great service to millions of Americans suffering from unemployment, underemployment and threat of death due to inadequate healthcare. They could put BILLIONS into the coffers of the US treasury to provide much needed relief. Some say they shouldn't be obligated to provide anything for their fellow Americans. Should we rely upon their generosity when Corporations such as GE have proven otherwise? The blood of Millions of Americans is on their hands. It's time for a speedy trial of these tax evading Corporations.

Michael Moore and MoveOn certainly know this needs to be done.

A message to congress.

Why is it that you have delayed and deterred President Barack Obama's Healthcare Reforms? I know. Look to the Corporations that have financed both political parties and I'm sure you'll find the two culprits: Insurance and Pharmaceuticals. And the Republications are trying to give those companies their moneys worth. The Republicans engage in more fear tactics than anyone else. Some of us are easily fooled. Others are not. But the Republican Party seeks to disrupt our processes because Pete Sessions has professed an admiration for the Taliban. He revels in their ability to "disrupt a persons processes". That's what the Repukelicans are about; Disruption and distortion.



The Democrats on the other hand have been catering to the financial fools on Wall Street. There's one dumbocrat I'm particularly mad at. That one is Chuckie Schumer.

Let's not let either party fool us. Let's not let either party shirk from their responsibilities to us. Both parties never seem to shirk from their responsibilities to their big bucks contributors.
