Boycott Oregon... the official thread

[Jcon268]

Which bad guys?

I own a business here in Gresham and I can tell you I've had my share of raw deals on taxes and fees here in Oregon. Boycotting me would only put me out of business.

All the small stores but 1 in my area of Oregon has shut down . The one that was with in walking distance just closed after close to 100 years after the last 2 CHAIN stores opened in the last year . The chain stores can sell products cheaper than the small stores can buy them. Money being tight most the locals have to go where their dollar stretches the farthest.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had more choice in the matter?...as in having some of our earned tax dollars back in our pockets so that we could afford to shop locally at slightly higher prices, which would in turn help our community rather than a guy living in a mansion in some other state?

I still go over to the 1 small family owned store and buy a few things once in a while. All the big chain stores moved in and wiped out all the independent grocers and most the hardware and builder supply store's

Bingo
This is why blanket boycotts are a bad idea. They inevitably hurt the wrong people.

Maybe Boycott a target that supports anti-gun measures?
