(13,003 posts)Years ago, Cabela did a similar thing. On the cash register receipts they had a line item charge listed as an OBAMA tax.
It posted a dollar figure, but it wasn't added into the total.
I wrote a not so unkind letter to Cabela, telling them that I would no longer be buying a couple of thousands dollars of their products as I had in previous years because of their political opinions. Instead I would be buying from other sources that offered comparable products. (I mentioned that they could reference my past orders to verify it was THOUSANDS of dollars they would lose....)
Dick's Sporting Goods came out with a stand on discontinuing assault type weapons in their stores. They took them all, and had them shipped to a location that literally destroyed them all, not even trying to sell them to some other retail groups......The right wing Trumphumping second amendment people had a fit over this, saying that would destroy Dick's as none of them would buy anything from Dicks again.......I went into Dicks for my first time, buying some things I needed, and telling the manager of the store that I would be buying all my stuff that I could from them for their stand on assault weapons. He laughed, and told me that many people had come in saying the same thing. He told me that the management of the company feared a loss of sales revenue, but surprisingly ever since their announcement, their sales revenue was UP.......by TWENTY PERCENT......LOL
I did the same to U-Line, and told them that I deeply resented that they had put in their massive catalog, a full page color letter by the owners wife, doing a rah-rah for the fascist Republican Party. I now buy all my company's stuff from other outlets.....
The simplest definition of FASCISM, is the merger of Corporations and Government.........
I have to believe that just as they have Renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, that they will soon change the United States of America, to the United Corporations of America, or the Corporate Tyranny of America......
With the Trump CABAL most recently ignoring a unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court's ruling, we inch closer each and every day to a Fascist Dictatorship......
