Jon Stewart:GE's $14.2 billion profit and no federal income taxes and Steve Martin way ahead of his time
March 28, 2011
Jon Stewart on General Electric (GE) making $14.2 billion profit for 2010 and paid no federal income tax. Jon also criticized Obama for saying he would stop corporations from profiting from outsourced labor when they pay no domestic taxes, but instead making GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt a chairman on his new economic council.
Ironically, Jeff "the jobs butcher" Immelt cut 1/5 of their American workforce during the prior 9 years.

President Obama announced the creation of an economic advisory council Friday that will be headed by Jeffrey Immelt, the chief executive and chairman of General Electric.The President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness will replace the Economic Recovery Advisory Board that was headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
Volcker's board helped pull the economy "back from the brink," Obama said. Immelt's panel will be charged with "putting the economy into overdrive."
"Jeff's somebody who brings a wealth of experience to the table," Obama said. "We think GE has something to teach businesses all across America."

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?" First.. get a million dollars.
Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?" Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!"
How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal." Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?"
Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!"

The U.S. military fires Tomahawk missiles against Libyan defense targets on the anniversary of the Iraq war.
"You know wars aren't kids... Where you don't have to pay attention to the youngest one because the older two will take care of it."
How can we afford to bomb another country? Haven't we been hearing for weeks that Wisconsin teachers will lose their jobs because there isn't enough money?
