Try a far more accurate description: "free market solution" or "voting with your feet and dollars".
It was independent firefighters that started that boycott of M & I Bank, before any of the unions got involved. They were in Madison to protest, and all went across the street into the bank and withdrew their money - about $200,000 worth that afternoon. The bank closed that afternoon in fear of a run.
It was so successful, that everyone else picked up on it.
People are completely entitled to use whatever merchants they wish - and to boycott those whose behaviour they do not like. Worked for Glenn Beck.
Merchants in Wisconsin, who donated to Republicans, are not going to get certain people's business. It's a simple as that. Donation lists are public.
Let the people decide. That's the pure capitalist way  |
Also, it makes perfect sense to publicly boycott a WI based business like Kwik Trip who does so much good for the community and it citizens. They didn't speak out one way or the other. They are just targeted by yes Union THUGS. Real classy. Ever hear of the Freedom Honor Flight? sponsored by Kwik Trip, there is so much more. I personally will be supporting Kwik trip as much as possible because of this.
