		<description><![CDATA[government,politics&#160;news,politics&#160;news,politicsIn a surprising, if perhaps non-flattering moment, Housers is caught on camera protesting at the Bank of America shareholders meeting. Perhaps a slightly more flattering image came across from the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The IUE-CWA&#8217;s pension fund wants General Electric to cease the practice of giving dividend payments to senior executives on shares that they do not own.  In this system, senior executives get dividends on [...]]]></description>
