I hate to sound cruel and insensitive, but anyone working at WalMart and expecting to get all the perks typical of corporate America should consider working to improve themselves and getting a real job on a real career path.

It is refreshing to have a ruling that makes sense.

Big win for all types of business and a slap down on left wing socialists. Time someone got the message that Hillary care is not the law.

It is sort of ironic that a court of law overturned the statute enacted by the left. That is usually the left's tactic (use the courts to overturn any law they don't like). Of course, I think the judge in this case is correct.

This ruling will hurt the Chicago council's stance against Walmart, Target and Home Depot.

It's a big win for people in Maryland.

Walmart would have simply passed on the higher costs to customers.

The proponents of these laws are the unions, who have been unable to get Walmart employees to join them, so they seek to undermine Walmart and make them less competitive.

The law also required Walmart to simply spend more money on health care benefits, it didn't have any kind of requirements on the quality of those benefits.

It didn't require other retailers to provide similar benefits. It would actually discourage other retailers from creating more jobs in Maryland to avoid falling victim to this law.

Pure socialist stupidity.

It was a horribly written law that pandered to the unions.

It's clear that this law targeted one particular business in Maryland, Wal-Mart. There's a federal law that prevents singling out a particular business for penalty, though I have forgotten the name of it.
