Saturday, it was suggested that we destroy a bank, specifically M&I Bank, given that they were Scott Walker's largest campaign donor. Some have asked, "Is it justified?" given that campaign contributions are made by individuals and not the business.

Per http://www.followthemoney.org, M&I employees contributed $46,308 to Walker's campaign and $12,106 to Barrett's campaign. What is telling is that $45,558 of the $46,308 came from the executive suite as follows:
