This is the guy who said the Affordable Health Care Act was “fascist.” http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/01/16/169413848/whole-foods-founder-john-mackey-on-fascism-and-conscious-capitalism
Yes, this is a guy who is raking in the bucks but remaining opposed to the concept of having his many thousands have access to affordable health care. Sounds like greedy capitalism to me. Costco has a far superior model and tradition of equitable employee benefits.
