>...GE is one of the more successful rent-seekers. Care to provide any examples of it whipping up an anti-govt mob? From the Wikipedia page for Rick Santelli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Santelli http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Santelli): "Tea Party Patriots wishes to extend a special thank you to Rick Santelli for his rant on February 19, 2009, which started this entire movement. Without Rick's rant, this movement would never have started. Many others will try to take credit but don't be fooled. He was the spark that began this fire." Santelli was, and is, an editor for CNBC, which in 2009 was owned by General Electric. So an employee of GE, while acting in his capacity as an employee of GE, basically kicked off the Tea Party movement.
