For those unaccustomed to the loopholes and shelters of the corporate tax code, GE's success at avoiding taxes is nothing short of extraordinary. The company, led by Immelt, earned $14.2 billion in profits in 2010, but it paid not a penny in taxes because the bulk of those profits, some $9 billion, were offshore. In fact, GE got a $3.2 billion tax benefit.

Republicans block ending offshore jobs US tax breaks
Quote:
U.S. Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic bill on Tuesday to end tax deductions enjoyed by companies that close their U.S. plants and move overseas.

With a largely party-line vote of 53-45, Democrats failed to muster the 60 votes needed to clear a Republican procedural hurdle against the measure, which would also give employers a tax break to hire new U.S. workers.

At least chuckles is bring honest and telling the whole story...oh wait. :roll:

Quote:
Five members of the Senate Democratic caucus broke party ranks and opposed the bill, including Max Baucus, chairman of the tax-writing Finance Committee.

While most Democrats back ending tax preferences for multinational companies moving overseas, several have opposed tightening the rules, arguing they need to be examined within a broad overhaul of the tax code.

Republicans and business groups dismissed the bill as a political stunt that would increase taxes on companies and undermine job growth.

But the messiah said principle AND interest WOULD BE PAID BACK IN FULL.

in fact the lying sacks of sh!ts involved in the scheme all got on TV and straight to our faces told us they were already turning a profit.

This is was A UNION bailout.

maybe the big fat union blowhard bully can explain this to us. He repeatedly blabbers on that everyone and anyone except he is ignorant and dumb when it comes to the world of business and finance. I can't wait to hear it. Like when he explained his ''free money''.

...''free money''...someone is going to have explain that one too.

GM pilot project:
Parents can track
teen drivers in real-time

Detroit News, by David Shepardson


Traverse City — Parents will be able to track the real-time location of their teenagers when they are driving, under a pilot program unveiled by General Motors Co.'s OnStar unit.

The service will give family members the ability to track the location of others by logging on to a GM website to view a map with the vehicle's exact location at any time or by getting text messages or email alerts.

"Our subscribers have asked us for a solution to help them stay connected to their family when they're on the road," said OnStar President Linda Marshall in announcing the project at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars here. "What parent hasn't asked their teenaged driver to call or send a text when they arrive somewhere, only to not hear from them?"

GM will initially invite about 10,000 active U.S. OnStar subscribers to take part in the pilot program. A GM spokeswoman said the pilot program is focused on GM owners who are parents with teen drivers.

Parents or others can choose the day, time and frequency of the alerts.

"The glorious thing about technology is that it help with age-old problems such as making sure your teenager is where he or she should be," Marshall said.

Our most reliable car has been the 2002 Nissan Altima - 250,000+ miles, getting son back and forth to Ohio for college! Knock on wood - I'll probably jinx him!

and dumb, fatassed, libtard union ass holes whine about big bad evil corporations who EARN THEIR OWN PROFITS THROUGH THE PRIVATE SECTOR however when the Magic Negro does it BY SPENDING BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY he says nothing.

Nothing but a big fat blowhard hypocritical brown nosed mind fücked liberal who can't get enough of sucking democrat dick for all his free money (whatever that is) and bailouts provided for him by the taxpayers.

Bailed Out GM CEO Akerson –
The Taxpayers’ Worst Nightmare

Big Government, by Seton Motley



If you are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a company that has received $50 billion in federal bailout coin, there are certain things that you realistically shouldn’t say or do.

Both from a substantive policy and an optics perspective, you should walk a pretty straight line until We the People are made whole.


Behold General Motors (GM) CEO Dan Akerson – a man who obviously doesn’t adhere to this philosophy.

As we said back in March, Akerson is a foundational part of the Washington, D.C.-Wall Street crony capitalism nexus.

Akerson is not – and never has been – a car guy. He himself said so. What is he? He is a DC-connected, Wall Street hedge fund big coin guy.

Akerson’s immediately preceding gig was Managing Director and head of Global Buyout for the incredibly inside-the-Beltway-connected Carlyle Group.

This hip-joined relationship with the federal Leviathan means Akerson’s a cardboard cutout for the real CEO of Government Motors – U.S. Treasury Secretary (and yet another fellow DC-Wall Streeter) Tim Geithner.

And from all we have since seen, Akerson is one giant toe on the Huge Government, Obama Administration line.

We have for the last several weeks witnessed the federal government engage in a debt ceiling debate. The warped focus throughout has been “How will this affect Wall Street?”

Almost never has it been “How will this affect taxpayers?”

In the end, We the People are being force fed a deal that pleases Wall Street – and leaves the taxpayers on the hook for another $10 trillion.

Government Motors – under Akerson – is similarly situated. The absolute last thing about which they seem to care is We the People. We stand to lose between $11 and $13 billion on our generous – conscripted – GM bailout.

New GM said not responsible
to fix Impala made by old GM

Reuters, by Jonathan Stempel


NEW YORK, Aug 19 (Reuters) - General Motors Co (GM.N) is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit over a suspension problem on more than 400,000 Chevrolet Impalas from the 2007 and 2008 model years, saying it should not be responsible for repairs because the flaw predated its bankruptcy.

The lawsuit, filed on June 29 by Donna Trusky of Blakely, Pennsylvania, contended that her Impala suffered from faulty rear spindle rods, causing her rear tires to wear out after just 6,000 miles.

Seeking class-action status and alleging breach of warranty, the lawsuit demands that GM fix the rods, saying that it had done so on Impala police vehicles.

But in a recent filing with the U.S. District Court in Detroit, GM noted that the cars were made by its predecessor General Motors Corp, now called Motors Liquidation Co or "Old GM," before its 2009 bankruptcy and federal bailout.

Reports: UAW members can
expect signing bonuses as high
as $10k from Detroit's Big Three

M.Live.com, by Michael Waylan
d


With approximately 85 hours remaining before contracts between the United Auto Workers union and Detroit’s Big Three expire, UAW members can expect a substantially higher signing bonus than in year’s past, according to reports. But, just how high the bonuses will be remains under speculation. Sept. 10, the Detroit News: “… Reports that it could be as high as $10,000, which is about three times what union members received for ratifying the last national contract in 2007 are being described as too high.

GM OnStar cars will upload
all data unless owners opt out

Register [UK], by Bill Ray



Cars fitted with OnStar's technology will be tracked even if the owners don't sign up to the service, in a change to the company's policy that will kick in come December.

OnStar is a service offered by General Motors USA, which inserts a mobile phone, along with telemetry tracking kit, into cars sold by the company. Owners are then offered the option to sign up to the navigation and automatic crash reporting, but in a policy change the company will start collecting data from drivers even if they haven't signed up for the service.

In the notice being sent out to subscribers, and picked up by Wired, OnStar explains that from December this year it will start collecting information about everything from oil levels to mileage, and details of any accident in which the vehicle is involved – including direction of impact, seatbelt use and the location/speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident.

That is the critical part, to the insurance companies at least. Several US insurance claims have already been invalidated by cars which grassed on their owners, who proved to be travelling faster than they had admitted, and OnStar will hand over the data to the police when required to, and anyone else they deem necessary for "the safety of you or others"
