Mackey's suggestions make sense to me, although I would not count on liberals donating lots of their own money to fund health care for the uninsured.

I shopped at Whole Foods today for the first time in ages.
Give this guy some support for having the courage to talk common sense. No wonder his company makes money.

More proof this issue has nothing to do with “lowering the cost of health care”. How can anyone who shops at Whole Foods complain about the cost of ANYTHING?
To: reaganaut1
I would like to support the guy, but a store that charges $13 for a lb of sliced turkey should be avoided. Its not called Whole Check for nothing.

Here’s a thought, Buttler. Cram it down your pie-hole.

When the Dixie Chicks bit the hand that fed them, the NYT was all up in arms about conservative country fans being too hard on them. That they had a right to speak their minds without fear or alienating their fans.
Turn the situation around and they tell the conservative he should shut up rather than alienate his customers.
Notice they didn’t take time to discuss his ideas. Do they have merit?

Unreal. Mackey wasn’t partisan, strident or in any way unfair or bombastic. He offered a reasonable, rational alternative to the ridiculous Democratic healthcare plan. This shows how Stalinist and intolerant the Democratic party has become. They can’t even deal with substantive opposition even as they dishonestly claim their only problem is with the boisterous townhall protesters, not with intelligent and considered opposition. These boycott threats put the lie to that claim.
Oh, and I’ll be INCREASING my business at Whole Foods.

I have done the majority of our grocery shopping at Whole Foods for 20 years.
Great products
Great service

How can anyone who shops at Whole Foods complain about the cost of ANYTHING?All of the times that I've shopped at Whole Paycheck(tm) recently, I was using OPM to purchase meal preps for parties that I cooked for.
It's not so bad shopping there when it's someone else's (customer's) plastic that gets the charge. ;)

I read his suggestions, and they made great sense, which is why the left is vilifying him.

Yeah, but the cheese, selection and produce are something, I must say. They have aged steaks, which is almost unheard of anymore. Celery tastes like celery. Even for this codger, it’s...
Now I am hungry. Just the thought of those tarts. (as in real bakery tarts....)

They opened a new store near me a couple of years ago. Out of curiosity I went to check it out. The store stank, and everything was over priced. I wound up buying a sack of cat food and left. The cat wouldn't eat the stuff. never again will I go to Hippie Foods.

the bums that are complaining don't have any money anyway so if they stop shopping at Whole Foods, thats more stuff for the rest of us that work for a living. If you are careful you can get great deals there. If you just go thru the rows and grab stuff that looks good be prepared to shell out. The one here in Sherman Oaks make the best sandwich's anywhere for a good price

It’s because liberals only think in slogans, chants and sound bites. They can’t handle anything more in-depth.

I call it “Whole Paychecks” since it’s so expensive. But I’ll be shopping there once in while just to give them my support.
