WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — Papa John’s warns it will have to raise the price of its pizzas due to President Obama’s health care law.

John Schnatter, CEO and founder of Papa John’s, said pizza will cost up to 14 cents more when the Affordable Care Act goes into effect in 2014.

Or they could just go out of business, and their former employees can all go on welfare.

Which is where we're all headed anyway.

14 cents. Hold your horses.

Average pizza is what? 10 dollars?

So that's 1,4% increase of an average pizza? And that 14 cents is not even a guaranteed, it's a maximum.

Dumbass people trying to market their business by having a go at the president. Even dumber people will buy into the hype these business owners are creating.

This is a repost, and it is pretty clear that this is just propaganda to generate support for the candidate he is backing, Romney, along with a really crappy attempt to boost his sales by trying to attract customers who are sympathetic to his message since he saw how successful the chick-fil-a controversy was.

Wrong. EBT can't be used to purchase pre-prepared or hot food, plus none of those places are set up with accounts to take EBT.

No, YOU are wrong. There have even been reports of EBT cards being used at liquor stores, casinos, and strip clubs! Get to work so I can order more food!

I love how all of you bash Papa Johns and not Obama.

Sure, 1.4% here, 1.8% there....It will add up.

Re: Papa John’s Founder To Raise Price Of Pizza Due To ‘Obamacare’
Remember that Papa is basing his decision on forecasts on what he wants his profit margin growth to look like. You see: wages are stagnant yet the wealthy MUST accumulate more and more wealth at all costs. They are parasites and must continue to feed of it's hosts functioning at their lowest levels - that's how they keep them under control.

I once knew a small and wealthy business owner who back in the 90s when the economy was great - told his employees they were not getting raises because gas prices hadn't gone up (no - his business was not energy related in any way). In two years gas prices doubled - do you think he gave his employees raises???

You see - your benevolent overlords are the masters of your fate - your education and your health. They must feed first and you get the trickle down - the scraps. Enjoy.

Where's your proof? Liquor stores yeah, but only ones that actually sell grocery items too, and not on booze.

When you add those costs to EVERYTHING YOU BUY, it will add up pretty quickly.
