[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1676398, member: 42"] I'm not "chattering endlessly" about it. I'm answering replies and having a conversation. What are you doing, dropping in like a white knight to save the thread from evil old me? Thanks for the condescension... My point is [I]this[/I] issue is not "a problem affecting us now", at least not the problem that is going to bury us. Comments and news articles that make the claim "GE paid no taxes last year" and "GE paid more in lobbying than they did taxes" are either untrue, or just feed the current trend of looking for a boogey man and sound an awfull lot like OWS drivel. Take all of GE's money if you want, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to our $15T debt and $60+T unfunded liabilities down the road. Simplify the tax code, and strangle government spending. That is all. Call it chattering if you will but this is not GE's fault. [/QUOTE]
