GE CEO: Bernie Sanders says we’re ‘destroying the moral fabric’ of America. He’s wrong.

Couldn't you say that about the current wage?

"We just cannot establish a minimum wage. Businesses will go under."

"We absolutely can't raise the minimum wage to $4 an hour. The economy will collapse."

"If we raise the minimum wage to $7, the Earth will split asunder and swallow cities whole."

"An $11 minimum wage will incur the wrath of the gods. Meteors will obliterate civilization."
"If you raise the minimum wage to $15, the laws of physics will invert and render existence meaningless."

We are competing globally with foreign companies whose governments care whether they win and support them in innumerable ways. U.S. companies continue to wrestle with an outdated and complex tax code that puts them at a distinct competitive disadvantage. Sanders has stated many times that GE pays no taxes. Repeating a lie over and over does not make it true. We pay billions in taxes, including federal, state and local taxes. The U.S. tax system has not been updated in 30 years and isn’t designed for today’s economy, which is why we support comprehensive tax reform — even if it raises our tax rate.

This is all that needs to be read.

GE is a shytty company. We were using them as our water treatment for years and had to get rid of them because of how shytty a job they did.

This is the same G.E that got a $140 BILLION bail out from Obama in 2008 and in this very SAME thread people are more concerned over a $15/hr min wage people are really brainwashed to go against their own interests its surreal

Would have been nice if more people had critiqued the article instead of getting on their soap box.
