I congratulate you on your success. Business is wonderful, just as Mike Huckabee says (and as Arkansas business leaders say about him).

Helping is wonderful too. And I think Senators Clinton and Obama really do want to help.

I really do think that corporate paternalism is not as bad as state paternalism. But, I would like to see the system grow into the more conservative condition of individuals being in charge of their healthcare (and being able to afford it!) wherever and however they may choose to work.

I think that would be better for your productive business, too.

FReeping the Vote. Following up on JR's no-McCain objective

Here's the way you can help, whether your motive is to help Huckabee or just to see if there is yet a way to prevent a first ballot McCain victory -- especially if he gets really weird on us again and begins to embarrass even his own delegates.

A conservative condition allows employers and employees to negotiate terms of employment, including benefits as they see fit. It is not paternalism, it is called a contract.

You speak the democrat speak calling it “health care”. It is called health insurance. Businesses pay for health insurance, but employees and their doctors are the ones who deal with their “health care”.

And frankly, I don’t care whether Huckabee thinks business is wonderful. (And to be honest, saying business is wonderful is the most ridiculous platitude I have ever heard - especially since you branded business “corpratist paternalists” just five minutes ago.)

Arkansas business leaders, like Tyson chicken for example? Couldn’t keep that place open without the illegals.
