I think this legislation made sense. Walmart was essentially benefiting from corporate welfare by getting the government to pay for health care expenses that most other companies would be paying for on their own. This is extremely bad for the economy overall, and something needed to be done about it. Overall they were doing more harm than good to the state, so it's only right and proper they be taxed to make up this difference.
I'm not necessarily a big fan of the details of the bill, requiring a certain percentage to be paid on health care, but overall I agreed with it due its goal. In the year 2006 decent health care should be a human right for anyone who is employed full time.
