As a society we are as right to villify Wal-Mart for not providing health care as we were to villify Nike for using Asian children working for slave wages.
For someone who claims to be a conservative, you show an amazing lack of appreciation for the fact that in our capitalist society the market participants haqve as great a voice as the government.

You take a similar line as Fringe.
We can't as a society say we expect a job to always come with health care, and 1 we want to buy a foreign car if we want, 2 and we want to shop for the cheapest price for goods and services. There are inconsistant desires. Actually, 2 isn't inconsistant, it'll just be tough to achieve. see Man of La Mancha.
