After host Charlie Rose brought up the “growth rate” of China falling from double digits to about eight percent, Immelt chimed in. “Look, I think it’s good for China,” he said. “To a certain extent, Charlie, 11 to 12 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on exports, driving technology and innovation harder. Really, the one thing that actually works, state run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.” “They get things done,” Rose responded. |

At the Haymarket riots red flag was used. All the communist countries of the 20th century had red flags. [link to www.google.com] |

Doesnt mean all the workers support this, or that there's no need for unions. I've been carpenter's union and it is no more communist organizer than voting democrat or republican. |
