In August, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey argued in the pages of the Wall Street Journal that the solution to America’s health care crisis was to be found in “less government control and more individual empowerment.” His own company’s unique health care plan, Mackey wrote, covers 90 percent of employees, costs less than health insurance plans, aned provides a “very high degree of worker satisfaction.” But for the sin of not supporting a government take over of health care, labor unions and left …
libertarianism is FORMED off of the idea of the U.S. constitution. Progressives which is what you are) hate the constitution
I love Whole Foods!
Of course…The 99 cent store is cheaper.
Part of the reason I shop at Whole Foods, besides liking the product, is because of Mackey’s vocal stand for freedom and free markets. Keep up the good work, guys. Great food, very competitive prices, better selection than anywhere else I’ve seen, and a great health care plan that exceeds most I’ve had access to while working as an employee.
A&P? A friend of mine started working there and apparently it’s union run and you have to wait a while before you get health care.
I don’t know what “your industry” is. I guess I didn’t make that clear enough in my last comment.
Furthermore, government enforces EVERYTHING with violence. If you don’t pay taxes, you go to jail. If you don’t go to jail, then send armed men to your house.
Finally, prohibition results in violence because it creates a black market for the prohibited products. Duh.
This is leftist garbage.The hippies are mad because, Mackey’s not a Communist. Liberalism is a mental disorder. The Afro-Leninist’s destruction of America is coming to an end. I hope Obama’s policy fails.
So do you rely on an ability to enforce contracts in “your industry” in a court of law? If yes, then you rely on limited government .
If you don’t rely on an ability for court-enforcement of contracts in “your industry”, then your recourse for enforcement of such agreements is violence (i.e. like the drug gangs). Government prohibition of drugs results in violence because business transactions between parties in the illicit drug industry are NOT enforceable in courts of law.
MY industry? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
You say drug gangs are what happens with no government. Except drug gangs cannot be profitable without government prohibiting aforementioned drugs. Fail.
Your industry still had the ability to enforce contracts in a court of law, right? Then your industry relied on limited government to enforce the law.
If you want to see what happens with NO government, then all you have to do is look at the drug gangs – violence is used to enforce agreements and killing your competitor is OK.
Of course unions want universal health care. They have promised their members lavish retirement health care benefits and now they want to pass that tab onto the US taxpayer.
that guy with the goatee is a moron…
suck a dick, hippies.
The guy in the yellow shirt and glasses is wrong. I just started working for a huge grocery store (who shall remain nameless) and I don’t even get health insurance until I have worked there for TWO years. This was the UNIONS decision. I don’t see how that is better than whole foods plan.
Mackey’s a stud!
