America: Your benefactor is never the state

The marketplace brings plenty; the state does the opposite. Yet not a day goes by when consumers, ignorant of the forces that feed, clothe, cure, employ, entertain them and innovate for them, don’t demand that those who’ve done nothing of the kind – the McCains, Obamas, Bushes, Clintons, Keith Alexanders, Lois Lerners, Eric Holders of the world – proceed with force against those who do nothing but.

Expect the anti-Wal-Mart jousting to begin, because Wal-Mart has done it again. To fill the need created by the Obamacare wrecking ball, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is venturing into the business of providing primary health care. For $40, the price of a copay (in an Obama-mandated, sub-par health-care plan), “you can walk into a Wal-Mart clinic and see a doctor.” It’s “just $4 for Wal-Mart U.S. employees and family members.”

Rejoice, Sandra Fluke! You can have a pregnancy test at Wal-Mart for … $3.

I know, I know. There are some that won't/don't do walmart and this did come from wnd but Ms. Mercer has done a nice job regardless. As to mz. fluke (rhymes with duck), I'd prefer someone donate some birf control. Forget the pg test for $3.00. Do we really want her to reproduce? :>}

What will the Port of Los Angeles do once the shooting war starts with China? The gigantic sucking sound of capital from flowing from Peoria to Peking will becoming a titantic, flatulistic explosion.

What hard work givith the government taketh away.

I do get the point, but corporations are worse than government. They are only profit driven, are no longer “local” but multinational, are not beholden to voters ... the list goes on and on. When corporations are so big and owned by other corporations, capitalistic rules no longer apply. It doesn’t matter if people stop shopping of boycott because they can easily absorb the loss. There was a time when conservatives supported the wise enforcement of the Sherman Antitrust laws. Without antitrust enforcement, capitalism dies.

The problem is not big government, the problem is Liberal government.

100% Wrong. The problem IS big government. So much money, so much bureaucracy, monopoly in use of force, and no real need to satisfy customers — corruption is inevitable.

The founders gave us LIMITED government for a reason.
