General Electric, the nation’s largest corporation, had a very good year in 2010. 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.


Красиво живут. Впрочем, это не просто так:

G.E. spends heavily on lobbying: more than $200 million over the last decade, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Это не считая, разумеется, взносов на избирательные кампании и благотворительных взносов в различные фонды, по чистой случайности афилиированые с тем или иным конгрессменом.
А глава GE Джефф Иммельт - главный экономический советник Обамы.
