This is just another great example of how the rich own/control both parties. Big deal he donated to Obama. Probably playing both sides of the fence. And since Citizens United, you have no idea how much this guy has donated and to whom.
And excuse me pal, but please don't tell us who is liberal and who is not. So now you guys are claiming that the CEO of GE one of the largest most powerful companies in the world is a liberal progressive? Is he starting a union at GE? How much more does he make than the average worker? Besides bribing, I mean donating to Obama, what else makes this guy a liberal progressive?
Immelt has a total five year compensation of $53.82 million, an income which ranked sixth among executives employed by US-based conglomerates.
Overall General Electric year end employment has dropped from 315,000 in 2002 to 307,000 in 2013
Another job creator?
As CEO of General Electric in 2007, Immelt earned a total compensation of $14,209,267
Stop trying to have CEO's run this county. Big difference in running a for profit company and a country. HUGE difference. First of all, a CEO wants to keep worker compensation low and his pay high. In a country, the government should want a balance. The government should protect the middle class and poor from the predatory corporatons who only care about profit.
I don't hate corporations for it. That's their job is to only care about profits. That's why we have a government. Everyone knows a game is no good without rules. Today the refs or government have been paid off to side with the corporations and not be fair to the workers of America. This has to change.
Romney was a CEO. Bain Capital sent thousands of jobs overseas. Bain made money tearing companies apart and bankrupting them. Not what America needs.
Immelt is a leftist totalitarian; just like Obama, just like you.
None of you have the slightest thing in common with liberals.
Liberals support Laissez Faire markets - do you?
Liberals support freedom of religion, even on sacred government ground - do you?
Liberals support freedom of speech, even when it is critical of Dear Leader - do you?
Of course not, you are a Khmer Rouge democrat, a leftist thug.
I got banned at Democratic Underground. I tried to claim I'm a Tom Payne liberal. If your not progressive they get rid of you.
