Sanders just needs to go away now. Attacking GE is just stupid.

“The senator has never bothered to stop by our aviation plant in Rutland, Vt.,” Immelt writes. “It’s a picture of first-rate jobs with high wages, advanced manufacturing in a vital industry — how things look when American workers are competing and winning — and Vermont’s junior senator is always welcome to come by for a tour.”

Immelt also rejected Sanders’s oft-repeated assertion that GE does not pay taxes.

“Repeating a lie over and over does not make it true. We pay billions in taxes, including federal, state and local taxes,” he writes.

Toward the end of the article, Immelt ends with a more direct rejection of Sanders as empty rhetoric.

“It’s easy to make hollow campaign promises and take cheap shots in speeches and during editorial board sessions, but U.S. companies have to deliver for their employees, customers and shareholders every day,” Immelt writes. “I’m proud of all that we do, and how it all figures into ‘the moral fabric’ of America is so plain to me. It seems Sen. Sanders is missing the point.

Businesses have already been crushed. Trump talked a good game but as he widened his lead and became the inevitable nominee he went soft on free trade deals. His tone changed like Hillary after her mid-March victories.

 

I honestly think Trump could be a better President than Sanders if he want back to his strong opposition to free trade agreements. Also his tax plan is very centrist. I like Cruz's plan more. Sanders while wrong on many issues was right IMO on; Iraq, Wall Street Bail Out, Panama Free Trade, NAFTA, minimum wage increase, and protecting 2nd amendment - gun manufacturers immunity. These reasons alone show Sanders can outflank Trump on populism. That's why Trump must go back to being anti-free trade.

 

Businesses have been getting crushed by the current administration. Both Trump & Sanders advocate continuing on the same path.

 

People are morons.

What's your definition of crushed? Or better, what exactly is getting crushed?

You certainly can't be talking about profits, which have been at all-time highs...

High profits are direct result of low interest rates and perpetually extending accelerated amortization rules the lower tax rates.

 

But investment in new growth & jobs is held up by regulations, mandates and general uncertainty what the demagogue in chief is going to spring next. So it's not a surprise to anyone who's paying attention that large businesses are investing more in automation and overseas instead of the US.

 

Too bad the morons on the campaign trail are chasing the old bogeymen to round up gullible voters instead of pointing the finger in the right spot.

 

It's comical that Bill Clinton nails the problems better than anyone who's been out there.

And you have some data on this or is it just common knowledge?

so Obama is directly related to businesses becoming more productive and efficient? And you think that's bad? And are you actually suggesting that Obamas future regulations supposedly coming out very late in his second term have crushed business? US is doing well inspire of its two major trading partners being in huge slumps.

 

Come on, explain yourself. You complain about everyone else not being serious, let's hear it. Put up or, you know.

What would he know about that? Seriously the guy hasn't really been a employee of private enterprise let alone tell someone how to run one. I wouldn't give that guy a management job at a Subway he would manage to f it up.

gg stated that businesses were turning more to automation. He said it almost as a bad thing, as is they were doing it because of some Obama regulation, but what that means is that businesses are becoming more efficient. Which is a good thing. So in criticizing the prez he should have been applauding him.

"Necessity is the mother of all invention."

 

This administration has made labor costs prohibitive to expansion, so companies that can are reducing their labor force as automation shifts towards what individuals seeking employment would describe as the wrong side of the opportunity cost curve.

 

And you think that's a good thing for workers?
