Speaking of General Electric in 1937, Gerard Swope was president of GE during that time (1922 to 1940). His history is worth studying because it fits a common patten and shows how deep business and government corruption have been for a long time. Much of it is truly beyond belief. As little as a 30 second read at Wiki will earn you a decent start and many a clue.
Swope was a de facto American dictator, being the author of the doctrine of government control of business, a supporter of the German government (and probably the USSR as well) via General Electric, and the author of the Swope Plan adopted by FDR as part of his New Deal program of centralized control of the economy.
Here’s a quote from an interesting article written about him by the famous Dorothy Thompson who was once known as the "First Lady of American Journalism"and was recognized in 1939 by the news magazine, “Time,” as equal in influence to Eleanor Roosevelt and whose background is also worth familiarizing oneself with.
“[A special bill to help Swope avoid payment of US income tax was] introduced into the house by Representatives Reed (Republican) and Keogh (Democrat) of New York was an amendment to section 2055 of the internal revenue code of 1945.
… The bill was jumped over [“a log jam of 500 bills that had priority”] and passed both houses unanimously. There was still another obstacle. The secretary of the treasury, who had opposed the bill throughout, announced that he would advise the President to veto it. The veto could not be overridden because congress was in recess. “Tulin [Swope’s advocate] resorted to friends . . . (who) went to the White House. The amendment was signed and became law, Aug. 6, 1958.”
