What John Mackey Said to Start the WholeFoods Boycott

For those not in-the-know (I, of course, am), liberals are boycotting WholeFoods, their grocery store of choice, because co-founder and CEO John Mackey had the audacity to say we don't need a massive new government entitlement for health care.

While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system. Instead, we should be trying to achieve reforms by moving in the opposite direction—toward less government control and more individual empowerment.

Health care costs are only going to go down when people decide using less is in their own best interest. Or someone else decides it's in their best interest for you to use less health care. The first is making your own decisions. The second is rationing.
