GE Moving from Wisconsin . Keep your eye on Waukesha , Wisconsin
......Their biggest employer just moved out.
General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division
from Waukesha , Wis .., to Beijing . In addition to moving the
headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train
more than 65 engineers and create six research centers.
This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last
year, but paid no taxes - the same company that employs more people
overseas than it does in the United States .
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman
Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt
is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell
him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.
Thanks Jeff, you're a "real" American....give Barrack our Best!
Do you ever get the feeling like you are shouting into a wind tunnel, and nobody's listening or hearing what you are saying? I'm sick of the one sided liberal puke media in the US, as they don't bother to bring stuff like this up and make a big deal out of it. They would rather go after Mitt Romney for having been head of a company 13 years ago that sent some work offshore...
All these companies are whores, and they will do what ever they want to do when it comes to profitability. I do work for a very large company (Goodrich) and they have pulled all their work out of our facility and sent it to China. For 50 years we have been supporting Goodrich with on time and reasonably priced products. But because they are on an initiative to drive costs down, they pulled $14M (per year) worth of work out and sent it to a communist country. And guess when they started sending this work out to China? When OBUMMER was elected. Do you think anyone in the media would ever breathe a word of this? This kind of crap makes me want to barf in their back seat...
mash above for even more details
milt
aw,,,,we don't have to worry about it,,,,,,hussein hasn't met with his commission on job creation for over 100 days......
You mean we lost 11,700 jobs last month in the state, and now we are losing more. Great! Walker must not have offered them enough to stay.
Obama will probably blame Romney for this...Bill
aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can anyone say Scott Walker? He got a mandate last month. Said prospertiy will come to Wisconsin via his budget cuts. Yet let's blame Obama. Darwin was correct.

Why are all liberals completely insane?
Somewhere I read, it's from inbreeding.
Aha, I just figured it out.
Stl Flunkin' is a WISCONSIN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE!
That explains a lot.
Immelt feels the re-election is lost, so he's getting out of town (U.S) while the getting is good.
Cheap labor, China's incentives, and pay back for the 2008 election donations through 3rd party dispersements.
Employment czar.....right.
Has nothing to do with Scott Walker but how much china is kicking back to barry.Blade are you saying the chinese are more union friendly than Wisconsin? This actually happened several months back. Mike
So much for payback to the union members who went to the capital and did damage and threaten murder to protect their status!
GE has no loyalty's except to Obo. And he is not working out either.
Galt,
Because sane people look insane, to the insane! LOL
Buzzy,
No amount of explaining would help you understand. Trust me, your mind would still be confused.
"The Volt" Hows that working out? If it were any other model, it would be discontinued due to lack of sales and extreme development costs. In other words, a Loser.
But not at Obama Motors.
Where is Stevie Mainus....Pounding his fist now saying how "good" Scott Walker is for Wisconsin???? Where was the Gov's office on this one? I will tell you one thing Scott Walker will have EVERYONE working for $10/hr EXCEPT company CEO'S before this is all over!!!!
In 2013 PLEASE POST
1. How much your taxes went down
2. How many more jobs that "scotty" created that are worth ANYTHING
What a F-in joke.......
GS
Walker had nothing to do with it.
Immelt is chief of GE, which has more than HALF of its jobs outside the US.
He is also The Jobs Czar from Hell, an Obama appointee.
GE paid NO corporate taxes last year, and Immelt is looking for major concessions from union workers. His salary was doubled.
So I'll wait for Midalake to tell me what Walker was supposed to do.I would, of course suggest reading the above link first.
HM
Really Halfmile???
There has been COUNTLESS times in the past when the Gov's office and local goverment has got involved in company retention......WHERE'S SCOTTY NOW!!!
GS
All,
This is old news, see link, happened in 2011.. Only the execs moved, the 150 Wisconsin employees are still here. I live in Wisconsin, we all hate the idea that GE pays dilly nothing in taxes here, but they employ a ton of people here.
Whatever you think of Walker, this isn't something he should be blamed for or given any credit for. I, know GE doesnt make global business decisions based on a state governors demands, it's the other way around.

It's Bush's fault.
Lets get this right.....The GE decision to move to China was made 2 years before Scott Walked got elected......the first time. Union wages and retirement costs brought this on. China labor cost......1/10 of the good old unions here.
Once again the chest pounding pompus unions have shot themselves in the both feet. Ya'll just keep marching around the capitol in Madison and carrying your signs.....that ought to fix this.
GE pays NOTHING in taxes in Wisconsin?
They don't pay property taxes?
They don't pay sales taxes?
They don't pay utility taxes?
They don't pay payroll taxes?
Gee, how DO they get away with that?
Liberals love to blame greedy Republicans for shipping jobs overseas, yet they have a propensity to either overlook or not comprehend their own culpability in this problem with their support of heavy union overhead, high taxes, excessive and oppressive government rules and regulations, etc.
Corporations exist to make a profit. When the overhead reaches a point where there is little or no profit, something has to change. And that change means trimming costs. Cutting labor, increasing efficiency, or even moving a factory to a more favorable business environment, like another city, state or out of the country.
I don't like to see jobs going overseas, but the root causes need to be addressed and corrected. There is a limit to taxation before it becomes destructive and kills jobs, and it's time liberals acknowledged that. Ditto for government rules and regulations.
This has been the trend,and will continue until most all wages are very low. I don't see any protection for American trade coming anytime soon.
Donald Trump has a lot to say about China and how we have gave them our economy.
The Donald has a lot to say about everything.
Yes, he is quite full of his self, but he has a "no nonsense", simple way of getting straight to the heart of problem, then fixing it.
I hear the new GE slogan will change from Imagination at Work to Imagination at Wok.
Definitely nothing to do with Walker one way or another. but Midalake could not resist the opportunity to do yet more Walker Bashing. Seems to be a Democrat hobby. (Bush's fault, etc)
HM
Corp tax rate is 35%, only less than 20% of those profitable companies in the U.S. are paying close to 30% corp tax because there're many tax breaks for certain industries to encourage investments.
As a business owner, if I have to pay true 35% of my company's profit in tax, I'd cut back on a lot of new projects and investments, I'd hire less employees because some investments are just not worth the tax.
The CEO of GE has to report to the board, he could get fired if the numbers weren't right. I, as an American share holder of GE, I look at their performance and my return on their stock every quarter. The operating team of GE has to make correct decision to bring us the right numbers.
