From reading the article it seems like GE has a group of tax lawyers that know what the hell they are doing. If you could legally avoid taxes like that, you would do it too.
Fire all icumbents, bring about a fair flat income tax and install a consuption based tax. Also, require proof of tax participation to vote and require that all political campaigns contributions be pooled and split amongst all qualified candidates. No private or corporate contributions should go directly to any campaign. Follow these steps and I will be very happy. And so will my great-grandchildren.

Who in their right mind would vote out a guy who legally coerced an $11MM gift to his constituents?
People complain all the time about shady politicians selling their votes, but nobody seems to complain when it benefits their own district. There in lies the problem. The system rewards those who can appropriate (you could say steal) the most money for their district. They rules of the game need to be changed, not the players.
