1. Must have something to do with taxes. But when this Country
goes in the toilet and no one has any money to spend even at target they might think twice.

4. I read just the opposite a few days/week ago here in another thread.
Had supporting links.

Try a "search" on the topic.

Got a lot of postings.

8. Any retail chain that rapes town and city councils in order to secure a
building permit for their 'big box' store, and then undercuts all the local Mom and Pop businesses is NOT liberal in my book.

9. Target - liberal??
Huh??? Any big store that runs mom-and-pop businesses out of downtowns is not 'liberal minded!'

Tar-zhey, despite having some decent merchandise, is not in favor of the little guy any more than is Wally or the other big box stores.

12. Brilliant, Ain't It?
Carry stock that appeals to Euro-design minded Bohees, and donate the profits to causes said Bohees wouldn't look twice at.

Puts me in mind to get a little merchants' cart and sell flags and WWJD paraphenalia in the local park ...

13. I was under the impression
That they were as liberal minded as a store like that could get. I shopped there because I don't want to give my money to the Walton family, but I guess I'll have to weave my own shirts or something...
