And this merchandise does not make the consumer fat.

They believe that unless a business can deliver the wages they believe appropriate, the benefits they deem necessary, including things like Obamacare, paid sick and maternity leave, etc., it does not deserve to belong in business. They do not believe in competition or capitalism in the real sense, only in hyper regulated entities strictly adhering to their ideas of commerce.

I can’t tell — this is a parody, right?
