I just received this via email -- and it's true!

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!
Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy another GE product.
I am sending this to everyone on my email list. I am sure that GE is not concerned about US backlash, but you may be sure that I have bought my last GE anything. YOU ALSO MAY WISH TO WRITE TO IMMELT AND OBAMA TO THAT EFFECT !
