More on the "evil right-wing extremist" CEO of Whole Foods (from Michelle Malkin).
"Do You Know Who You Are Boycotting?

* Mackey lectures at Universities about the horrors of factory farming
* He says “Right now, Americans have to pretend factory farms don’t exist. They turn their eyes away, because there’s no alternative, there’s no choice. Once there is a choice, we will allow ourselves to be outraged.”
* He makes $1 a year and donates his stock portfolio to charity.
* He set up a $100,00 fund to help his employees with personal problems.
* He’s a vegetarian and his company will not buy from producers that treat their animals unethically.
* He flies commercial, rents the smallest cars, and stays in the cheapest hotel rooms - not because he’s cheap, but because he has no need for largesse
* He and his wife participate in yoga
* He gives over $1 million a year to animal welfare groups, education, relief work, and spiritual movements.
* Employees have full say in who they work with - a new employee must receive a 2/3 vote in order to make it past probation.
* Employees also vote on all company-wide initiatives
* There’s a salary book in every store - “no secrets” management believes everyone should know how much everyone else is making
* Executive salaries are capped at 14 times the lowest workers salary - If they want more money, everyone else has to get more money first
* Non-executive employees hold 94% of company stock options
* Pay is linked to team performance - profit sharing
* At least 5% of annual profits go to local charities
* Full-timers get 100% of their health care costs paid for - under plans the employees have selected
* “They just have a lot more respect for you as a person here” says an employee
And because he had a different idea about how the United States can fix it health care situation, none of this matters? He’s a caring person and many of you want to treat him like a monster. Why? Not because he opposes reform, but because he’s bringing more ideas to the table.
You people are despicable. If the country had more CEO’s like Mackey, this country would be a greater place"
And, last but not least -- don't forget -- he dared to disagree with his royal holiness the grand duke of slipped-in-behind-the-curtain-socialism; Barack "Barry" Hussein Obama (and the move on "dot" Democrat party).
RENEGADE FOLLIES AND ENCHANTMENTS TO ANNOY, BEWILDER, OR INSPIRE - DEPENDING ON THE OBSERVER *** True rebels have always believed in individual autonomy and free choice in thought and purpose. Real rebels are Promethean. The left has always stood for little more than coercion for the sake of power and bogus "moral" authority.
