Section: Politics, The Corporation, The Wire

Founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich and other conservative activists frustrated by recent electoral setbacks, ALEC is a critical arm of the right-wing network of policy shops that, with infusions of corporate cash, has evolved to shape American politics. Inspired by Milton Friedman’s call for conservatives to “develop alternatives to existing policies [and] keep them alive and available,” ALEC’s model legislation reflects long-term goals: downsizing government, removing regulations on corporations and making it harder to hold the economically and politically powerful to account.

Fade to the postscript. There we learn that, whoops, the banks didn’t lend it out after all. Instead, they got bigger, banker bonuses recovered, and Wall Street is getting bottle service at velvet-roped clubs all over again. The world was saved from ruin, but the banks quickly went back to business as usual and even felt self-righteous about it.

The Tax Strategy of General Electric (GE)

Section: Politics, The Corporation, The Wire

The original version of the circular logo and trademark of the General Electric Company. The trademark application was filed on July 24, 1899, and registered on September 18, 1900 to the General Electric Company, of Schenectady, New York, a corporation incorporated in New York. The date of the trademark's first use, given in the original 1900 registration certificate, is the month of May, 1899. The trademark's U.S. trademark registration number is 0035089. This trademark is still registered to the General Electric Company. Date: 1899 (logo); 1990 (U.S.P.T.O. renewal registration certificate, which this logo was obtained from).

The next year, GE hired the senior IRS official who was overseeing the service’s transfer pricing program, under which large multinational companies like GE negotiate with the IRS about how to price products and services among subsidiaries. The subject is controversial because it can allow companies to shift profits to lower-tax countries.
