Have I Got A Deal For You.

Folks, I still can't get over General Electric. Like our government, I'm just so darned proud of G.E. Can you imagine? Last year they had five billion dollars in profit. That's right five billion. And that's just in the good ole U. S. of A. They had even more profits overseas, for which they paid taxes. It's just that they paid taxes on that foreign profit to other countries. Here in the U. S. they paid,--- are you ready for this?  They paid a whopping, ahh, umm. Well the thing is they didn't have to pay any taxes on that five billion dollars. Do you mean to tell me that's it? They didn't have to pay any taxes and it was all above board? Hmmm, well ahhh, actually that's not all. See, the government was so proud of the job G. E. did that it gave them a three billion dollar bonus just for good measure. Hey. Wait a minute. That's sixty percent of what they made in profits. That increases their profits to eight billion dollars. Here, let me put it in perspective for you, so you'll better understand. If you made $50,000 last year and you didn't have to pay any taxes, you should have gotten $30,000 extra from the government. Or if you made $30,000, you'd pay no taxes and get $18,000. $20,000? No taxes and $12,000. If things went bad for you and you only made $10,000, you'd still get $6,000 and pay no taxes. Now if---. What's that you say? You did pay taxes and you didn't get any bonus money from the government? How does that make you feel? Uh huh. Well if I were you, I'd get in touch with your two Senators and your Representative and tell them you'd like the same deal that G. E. got. After all, fair is fair. And if they complain, tell them you'll create a job. Hey, somebody's gotta mow your lawn, right?
