Staples Co-Founder Claims Allowing Women To Breastfeed At Work Will 'Kill Jobs' | Addicting Info

Staunch Republican donor and co-founder of Staples, Tom Stemberg, has  a grave concern that might just throw the fragile economic recovery into the into a precipitous tailspin: breastfeeding. Indeed, the ever-so menacing and communist practice of a new mother providing natural enrichment, as well as, bonding with her newborn child (maybe because she doesn’t charge the kid a fee for service?).

Not surprisingly, Stemberg is a longtime supporter of policies of Casino capitalist Republicans like Mitt Romney, and he’s incessantly complaining about how Obama’s HCR  will force him to abide by such onerous laws as providing what he called “lactation stations” for new moms who need to breastfeed at work. So much for thinking that lactation station was a bosomy all-female rock group from the late 70s.

 

“Do you want [farming retailer] Tractor Supply to open stores or would you rather they take their capital and do what Obamacare and its 2,700 pages dictates – which is to open a lactation chamber at every single store that they have?” said a dyspeptic Stemberg.

    Ha, ha, what a hoot! First they want to kill a woman's right to choose, then take away her free health care, and want her to stay home and turn out babies, just like Stalin did back in the twenties. Do they think she's going to breast feed the tiny results of their crazy propaganda at the cash register? Second thought, perhaps she should!!!! I keep waiting for republicans to reach the point of ridiculous where the republican women who support these rabid fools will realize they are floating on the river of crazy.
