“if you want to pay more for lightbulbs “

No no you don’t. YOU said I wanted to pay more, NOT me.

And my post was humor, not serious. Never saw “Evita” ?.

By the way, it is easy to hide profits overseas under the guise of “loan payable” or “retained earnings” The laws are far different, depending on what country you are operating in. Think they only made 10 billion? LOL!

If x is the amount of income taxes that GE paid in 2009, and x = 0, then you want GE to pay x + 1 in income taxes.

My question to you is, how much of x + 1 are you willing to pony-up? Because the money that GE collects in income comes from you, not a printing press in the basement of GE headquarters.
