Rope salesman's ploy backfires

Jeffrey Immelt - CEO of GE, adviser to President Obama, and Vichy capitalist - recently expressed support for the Occupy Wall St. protesters. Ironically, that didn't keep a crowd of them from trampling his begonias.

Immelt is one of those sleazy operators who talks like a businessman, but eagerly solicits government largesse. Personally, I prefer my capitalists unadulterated and unvarnished.


"The Occupy Wall St. mob? Bah! Put 'em on a chain gang building some of that infrastructure the president's always yapping about!"

Update: I wonder what's going to happen when Mayor Bloomberg's tax-paying constituents reach their boiling point and force hizzoner to take action against the protesters? I hope suspect that it might look something like this:

    Vichy Capitalist is a perfect label for Immelt and his like. They are nothing if not appeasers.

    You can't really expect a happy ending when all the parties concerned are busy acting out a bad community theatre version of Galsworthy's "Strife"...
