Holy shite. How did I miss this:
quote:
The head of its tax team, Mr. Samuels, met with Representative Charles B. Rangel, then chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which would decide the fate of the tax break. As he sat with the committee’s staff members outside Mr. Rangel’s office, Mr. Samuels dropped to his knee and pretended to beg for the provision to be extended — a flourish made in jest, he said through a spokeswoman.
That day, Mr. Rangel reversed his opposition to the tax break, according to other Democrats on the committee.
The following month, Mr. Rangel and Mr. Immelt stood together at St. Nicholas Park in Harlem as G.E. announced that its foundation had awarded $30 million to New York City schools, including $11 million to benefit various schools in Mr. Rangel’s district. Joel I. Klein, then the schools chancellor, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who presided, said it was the largest gift ever to the city’s schools.

Corporations should pay no taxes, then maybe they wouldn't need to send all their production overseas. Why not just cut to the chase and nationalize all corporations while you are stealing from shareholders? Quit playing "just the tip" and go ahead and sodomize them like a man!
Edit: Although it occured to me that GE is a major competitior of mine so tax the crap out of 'em!!!
