1. CORPORATE THUGS WHO BAILED FROM WISCONSIN

They cited STATE TAXES for the move. Their CEO makes at Least 10 Million a year. There are numerous million dollar a year employees there.

They would pay $1.20 an hour if they could get away with it--- On my goodenss they are in at least 60 countries and some of their "EMPLOYEES" make less than $1.20 an hour.

They moved to Texas to avoid income tax

2. That's my town............

They have been cutting back at that plant for years. Mainly replacing fulltimers with temp help when they retire. The rumor has been that they just want it to be a warehouse. The big downside is there are very few decent paying jobs around here anymore.

unearth old Sears Roebuck catalogues?
