heck they couldnt even keep up with all the bussed in protestors the union brought in. more dimwit protests mean more lines out the door.wat you talkin about
It was the restaurants that supported Walker during the campaign?
Only rich people own restaurants. They probably don't pay enough taxes either.
...and they own grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, etc., etc. Guess those union members don't plan on eating or drinking anything other than municipally supplied water, driving or traveling anywhere other than by foot, taking medications of any kind, etc., etc.
well i have to say, if a person or entity (union pension funds included) has a lot of mutual funds, then boycotting in 99.9% of cases does nothing. in fact it likely hurts you without you knowing. that's the nature of mutual funds - the 'frozen dinners' of wall street. the companies practically have incest with each other so you could be unwittingly boycotting yourself. marshall & ilsley? omg. come on unions. marshall & ilsley is likely gettin' your money regardless if you boycott them or not. what a waste of time.
When their cops start coming off like the thugs in the Lucchese crime family, WI has a serious problem.
No wonder Dem politicians won't ever stand up to them and will go so far as to abandon their jobs and state.
It's like the mob, once you take their financial "help", they own you. Big time.
Not true. The letter was talking about a peaceful boycott. Nothing "thugish" about it. You guys need to learn a little bit about how to peacefully resist. There is nothing at all "mafia-sounding" (or to use your word "mob") about people organizing to boycott a business. Nothing at all. Now, rioting and destroying the property of businesses is a totally different story, and it seems like you guys are trying so hard to make this proposed boycott sound violent and illegal! Sorry, it's not working.
Yes, this is typical behavior. Unable to convince the people to get behind you, unable to stop democracy from moving forward, the last resort is to threaten people and businesses that that don't agree with you.
The day PS unions are completely disbanded can't come soon enough.
Right..because they won't take your side.
Boycott the government not business just because business doesn't back you 100%.
There's nothing wrong with opposing via boycott something with which you disagree. What other methods would you suggest for voicing opposition? Do you think that EVERYONE should just roll over when they see a perceived injustice? That's what this is all about. A very large number of citizens of this country perceive that what was done in WI was wrong. There are legal and peaceful ways of expressing that point of view and these methods have been used throughout our history. Boycotting businesses is one of them. Businesses have political power, and even more so since Citizens United.

Naw. I am color blind and dislike all corrupt fascist power suckers.
Thomas just happens to be very destructive to democracy and a suck up to the Koch brothers lunacy.
Did you read the article and the part about disclosure or are you just spoutin off ala Glen Beck?
