Groveling at the throne of dollars

I'm really sick of newspaper columnists acting as apologists for the "Capitalistas". General Electric (largest corporation in the US) dodges paying any taxes on 14 BILLION in 'profits'. But Mona Charen thinks we should give them a break, because it's not them, it's the fault of the tax code.

Especially galling is her trotting out of the old debunked statement that they need those profits to 'make jobs'. Chances are the profit-taking comes from manipulation of stock prices... t'aint about needing that money to make jobs. I didn't hear anything about how many 'jobs' GE created in the last year in the US.....
