My line of work is investments. I think it would be a simple matter to compile a list of companies that are either:

Based in a blue state.

Use union labor.

Contributed heavily to Obama.

You have probably heard of "green" mutual funds? Well how about a "red" mutual fund that only invests in red states?

RE...

Great Idea...

It wouldn't suprise me to see one appear soon. "The Galt Mutual Funds". I wonder if the "Ava Maria Funds" (Mr. Moynahan of Pizza fame helped kick them off) are close to that already with their Pro-Catholic bent....

I think that is a great idea and would likely be an excellent investment.

As to the other suggestions. I understand and can even agree. But I had a business failure in 1996 that I still haven't recovered from. I am struggling at present (I'm a programmer and ended my last contract right when Ike came through and the credit crunch hit). I'm looking at moving my in-laws in as they are getting too old to live alone. More economic stress I do not need.

All I can do is put my head down and grind it out. Yeesh.

I would love to see such a list compiled then posted on FR. Then all of us, whether or not we own businesses, could play a small part in bringing these companies down.

Sounds like a Capital idea! Maybe a ping list even!
