If you want to protest through boycott that is fine. This will not bring these hedge-fund Hyenas to their knees though. Production is not the enemy here and I would say trying to hit a corporation in the pocket book is unwise seeing that most CEOs will just lower wages of employees or lay people off.

What is the enemy, or at least a parasitical worm, is finance capital paying no taxes. You need to tax the turnover rates of the Koch Brother's hedge funds through a Wall Street Sales Tax of 1%. You also need higher estate taxes on millionaires who participate in off shore banking.

Thanks
