Do I detect snark in the comment, "whole paycheck"? I've always read comments of readers here who loved Whole Foods, or could it be that after the owner of the chain spoke out against his concerns about the public option that the editors here are going along to slander the man?

I'm one of those who started shopping more at WF when I read about the attempt to punish him with a boycott. From what I've read, the man is an exemplary employer, who provides good wages and health care benefits, he, like a majority of Americans have legitimate concerns about a health care plan that is more than 1,000 pages in length, but only 6 of those pages deal with health care (the rest is just more of the corporate giveaways that the dem leadership and Obama admin specialize in, for example, protecting insurers from being sued, and language exempting members of congress and the administration from being subjected to the laws they are imposing on the American people.

The two real ways we Americans can be heard in this cacophony surrounding health "care" and Big Food is to vote at the ballot box and with our check books. Two examples of this power of the people are Wholefoods increased earnings report and Republican Gov.s elected in NJ and Va. Power to the People !
