I'll take your statement under advisement.

Why is the Target Foundation so close to the vest with respect to what they fund?

As far as I know of, they are not. The Foundation money is used almost entirely to fund two things--educational grants and Target House, which is pretty much the same as the Ronald McDonald houses. I am working tomorrow night--I'll try to see what else I can find out.

In our town, Target lists the schools which receive money from Target when purchasers are made. I don't know about the other charities besides the Ronald McDonald House which is a great charity. We have known families who have used their facilities as their child was dying!

Great suggestion by a poster re Carhart Jeans!

If you want to "target" a foul/vile, anti gun, anti America/American company focus on ABC/Disney. The company that allows Maher to go on pour out his left wing venom!

As an American, you don't have to shop at Target! I do and as posted before will not buy any ChiCom products. Interesting on this area, I can find more Taiwan products at Target than anyother store. Last time I checked on it, Taiwan is still a good ally!

This afternoon, my wife and I will go to Costco. Costco has a ton of ChiCom products and a ton of non ChiCom products. Only American and non ChiCom products will be purchased by us! I use my $'s like "smart" bombs, and I refuse to wound myself economically by refusing to shop at Costco, Target, Home Depot and Walmart because someone claiming to be a conservative tells me not to! I buy American products and products of countries who back us! Many so called conservatives hate Walmart. I have exercised my second amendment rights at Walmart for over a decade, and I still do!

Good discussion here, thanks for starting it!
