Most of the time, I am defending Wal-Mart from the looters that want to force them to unionize or prohibit their entry into a community because of the local business's inability to compete. This time, Wal-Mart has become the looter. They are calling for an "employer mandate." With this policy, an employer would have to provide "meaningful" health insurance coverage to his employees or "contribute" to the government plan. If you think beyond stage one, you will understand why Wal-Mart wants the government to force all employers to pay for their employee's health insurance. It will add costs to all of Wal-Mart's competitors, eliminating those on the margin. Wal-Mart had similar motives some time ago when they supported a minimum wage increase. Those who request help through force from the aristocrats of pull are no better than the aristocrats themselves. Screw Wal-Mart, and the rest of the looters along with them.
