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.

There! That is the question you should have started with. My answer is I don’t care if they pay any income tax or not, as long as they abide by the accepted accounting rules.

On a personal note...Immelt is an incompetent, who has made his bed with Obama. So as long as this “Welsh wannabe” jerkoff is in power, I don’t give a rats behind how GE does.
