Tailgater: I did not come up with the "Bomb, Bomb, Saddam" comment, that was taken from a thread in the Picture-Post, where some right-wingers were making the joke. I just used it here, to continue the discussion with some levity. I am assuming that the term right-winger is not offensive, just factual.
X-dog: I am not sure what your position is, but I think you are making my point. Economics have changed since the 40s. While the statement about GM may have actually had some merit then, it does not now. I worked for General Electric the Corporate poster child (Jack Welch, the CEO poster child), and saw first hand the effect that Corporation had on it's environment and community. It is definitely not true, that what is good for GE is good for the country.
