Wait, wait a second here.

A corporation makes a political donation. The politician takes an action that a segment of the population doesn't like, and now there's a call for repercussions to the corporation.

Why are you ridiculing this? This is exactly what's supposed to happen. Hopefully other potential corporate donors will think a second before donating on the next go-round.

I think that I need to paint this picture a bit more clearly for you...

M&I did contribute to Walker (at least I'm assuming so as I have no reason to doubt the story). That would have been last year before the elections which happened in Nov. The bank was then sold to BMO in Dec. This "punishment" which is being exacted is being directed at people that had absolutely nothing to do with the Walker campaign and, in fact, aren't even a US company.
