If you have been paying attention at all, you saw Walgreens fold under pressure from thugs that call themselves American citizens, and that work for the progressive socialist Mr Obama and the other democrats in Washington, when Walgreens proposed moving their headquarters over seas but now changed their minds, their stock fell 15%. Is this America or some third world disaster?
What ever your political persuasion or ideology, this can not be hidden as just a change of mind on the part of the company, this is out right power intimidation from elected officials to do what we say or suffer the consequences. The full power of the federal government in the form of the IRS, the DOJ, the EPA and even maybe the FBI like they did attacking the TEA Party organization, True the Vote, will be loosed to attack Walgreens on all levels.
This can not be aloud to stand! This tactic was used in Germany in the early twentieth century and in Moscow during the same period to make sure everyone does what they are told. Mr Obama and the progressive socialist democrats have decided, we the people, are enemies of the state and must be treated as such.
But know this, in November we do have a chance to start the change back to a representative republic from the tyranny of progressive socialism. Anything less will spell disaster for the republic.
NLRB Ruling Makes McDonald's Liable for Franchisee Actions

August 6, 2014
The Chicago Tribune reports that a decision from the National Labor Relations Board would hold McDonald's liable for its franchisees' employment decisions.
Currently, McDonald's has 13,000 franchised stores across the country. These stores make their own decisions about how to run their franchises -- deciding how many workers to hire, what to pay them, what their duties will be, and the like. Until now, labor law violations (failing to pay overtime, for example) were the fault of the franchisee, not the franchisor. But if the new NLRB ruling stands, McDonald's would become responsible for its franchisees' decisions.
Changing these rules would invite a flood of lawsuits against McDonald's, and it threatens the entire franchise model, for McDonald's and beyond. According to the Tribune, more than 8 million Americans work for franchises, constituting 15 percent of all private sector jobs.
Significantly, the fast food industry has added new jobs at a rate of 4 percent so far this year, as well as in the last two years.
