Roy Barnes, now an attorney in Marietta. “I provide insurance for my employees. Why shouldn’t [Wal-Mart] be providing it?”

My response to that would be that Wal-Mart provides jobs to hundreds, if not thousands, of low skilled workers. So why doesn’t Mr. Barnes hire more low skilled workers.
Let me assume that Mr. Barnes makes $1,000,000 per year. I will let him keep $100,000 of that and use the other $900,000 to hire 30 low skilled workers at $30,000 per year.
I’d bet he’d squeal like a pig over that proposal, you know, ditry capitalist running dog that he is.
