What are they going to do with the 5,000.00 people in Louisville and surrounding areas who work at GE and depend
on groceries and paying their house payments?....how can
companies just up and throw those people away? What
happen to human ethics in the work place?. If they do
not help these people get jobs at same pay somewhere else
I am going to have all my friends and coworkers where I
work boycott GE products...We are all going to spread the
word not to watch NBC ....and we are all going to make it
our life's calling to do nothing with GE anymore. When
is it going to stop. When are we going to keep our jobs here
in America? WE ARE GOING TO BECOME A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY JUST LIKE THEY WANT US TO BE....WE ARE ALMOST HERE NOW. SLS

It used to be the right wingers were all singing "America Love It or Leave It"..... where are they now?

I now wish all these Corporate CEO's, such as GE's, would leave it...

There needs to be a balance between the wants of the rich (aka Wall Street) and the needs of the middle class (aka poor) in this country.... what a shame....

There are other reasons to boycott GE .. they do business with Iran.

As for jobs leaving America ... just keep voting democrats ... who attack big corporations, and watch them leave. Why should they stay when the government here is after them? They can take their jobs elsewhere.
Case in point are the two democrat presidential candidates... wanting to go after "big oil" and take their profits.... Just watch "big oil" take their jobs and go overseas ... Why stay where you are not appreciated?
With the socialist wing of the democrats in power, the only corporations left will be retailers like Walmart, who can't leave. They will chase all the manufacturing out.

Oh please Glasnos! You're an idiot! If you didn't happen to notice, this retarded little man and his party have been running this country for the past eight years, helping to ship all our manufacturing jobs to slave plantations in China and Korea and Mexico! No more TVs or electronics made here in the US -- all thanks in part to the current administration.

You think the Democrats are to blame? You're a fool!
