General Electric !
GE is Moving from Waukesha,Wisconsin.
Watch what happens in Waukesha.
Their biggest employer just moved out.
General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha,Wis., to Beijing, CHINA, and will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers AND build six research centers.
This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the U.S. last year, but paid no taxes - the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States.
So let 's get this straight. Pres O appoints GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar) and one the biggest things GE Chairman/jobs czar does is move his company on OUR DIME to CHINA. Guess he forgot that those new jobs should have been AMERICAN jobs. Thanks Jeff, you're a "real" patriot....
If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this Pres, I don't know what does. Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy another GE product
TRUE, according to Snopes.
GE moving X-ray business to China.
What message is sent to U.S.?
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
Here is more evidence of the suicide mission this country is on: General Electric announced it's moving its 115-year-old X-ray business from Waukesha, Wisconsin to Beijing, China.
The X-ray business is part of General Electric's GE Healthcare unit, and this move is just part of a broader plan by GE to invest $2 billion in China.
This will become the first GE business to be headquartered there. A handful of the unit's top executives will be transferred to China but otherwise, the company says, none of the 150 staffers in the Milwaukee-area facility will lose jobs or be transferred. However, GE plans to hire more than 65 engineers and a support staff at a new facility in China.
It's the kind of news that makes you want to reach for something sharp and jab it in your eye. General Electric's Chief Executive, Jeffrey Immelt, is one of President Obama's advisers on… ready? U.S. job creation!
In January, President Obama asked Immelt, a self-described Republican, to head up the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Tapping Immelt was supposed to provide the Obama administration with a business world perspective on job creation - not in China - here.
The administration also hoped it would give the president a leg up negotiating with the Republican-controlled House on deficit reduction, jobs programs, and health care. And we can all see how that's worked out really well.
Two months after Immelt was named to the council, The New York Times reported that General Electric paid no income taxes last year... thanks to some fancy accounting footwork, even though the company earned $14.2 billion in profits last year - more than $5 billion in the U.S. alone.
Here’s my question to you: General Electric is moving its X-ray business to China. What message does this send Americans?
Olga:
It says we can give big corporate perks to companies who ship jobs overseas. The GE situation is a perfect example. How do you expect President Obama to create jobs if the corporate big wigs are "unemploying" our people? We should take the company tax breaks and perks away until they bring back the jobs from overseas.

Eva in Tennessee:
Wait. Isn't the CEO of GE supposed to be Obama's top jobs guy? First they paid no income tax and now this? It's official. No one in power cares about getting people back to work. All they care about is keeping their profits, their offices, and the status quo. The real question is how long will it take the rest of America to realize this and do something about it?

GE moving X-ray business to China, GE CEO remains Obama key economic adviser
There is actually an impossibility to form words when confronted by this. I find it breathtaking than anyone can defend this administration’s approach.
General Electric Co.’s health care unit, the world’s biggest maker of medical imaging machines, is moving the headquarters of its 115-year-old X-ray business to Beijing, CHINA - BOSTON GLOBE TODAY
G.E.’s Strategies Let It Avoid Taxes Altogether
The company reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in the United States.
Its American tax bill? None. In fact, G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.

Even though I find him to be one of the slimiest, most despicable creatures on the planet, the "Stinky Finger" in this case points NOT directly to Obama OR General Electric. This time the guilt should be spread like peanut butter across the greedy faces of the union bosses and thugs who routinely force American corporations to either bankrupt and close or move offshore through so called "collective bargaining" (extortion) as well as those self serving, "modern" liberal (Communist) politicians that so eagerly drafted and adopted the one way "Fair Trade Agreements" which opened wide the flood gates to inferior foreign goods and produce fertilized with RAW HUMAN WASTE and chemicals long banned here in the U.S. while failing to address the ridiculous tariffs being placed on American goods shipped overseas.
ReplyDeleteThanks to these activities brought to us by self serving, conveniently short sighted so-called "Americans" we find ourselves in a post-industrial, deeply indebted and increasingly ignorant country where we have to IMPORT AMERICAN GOODS FROM ABROAD ! !
Planned attack on Governor Scott Walker, who has been able to turn his state around by NOT increasing taxes...causing unemployment to fall. GM move will increase unemployment which is sure to be blamed on Walker. In my opinion.
ReplyDeleteChina Disgusts me. There are no human rights in China. The Government are a bunch of criminals who get away with anything, Including bulldozing peoples homes without warning while they are still living in them.
ReplyDeleteThey are thieves and murderers.
They undermine the worlds productivity by making shoddy products that barely work, and break soon after.
