Papa John say's Obamacare will cause pizza prices to rise

[hortysir]

Exactly. Pizza delivery drivers should not be paid.

His employment contract is between him and the company he works for

In Somalia maybe. Here in a civilized country, much to the chagrin of the rightwingers who long for a return to the Middle Ages,

we make laws regulating work.

Is Papa John's in violation of any of these?

Papa John's CEO Says 'Obamacare' Will Up Pizza Price

August 9, 2012
The CEO and founder of Papa John's pizza wants investors to know that when the president's health care law takes effect, the price of pizza is going up with it.According to "Papa" John Schnatter, the cost of providing health insurance for all of his pizza chain's uninsured, full-time employees comes out to about 14 cents on a large pizza. That's less than adding an extra topping and a third the price of an extra pepperoncini. If you want that piping hot pie delivered, the $2 delivery fee will cost you 14 times as much as that health insurance price hike."We're not supportive of Obamacare, like most businesses in our industry," Schnatter said on a conference call with shareholders last week, as reported by*Politico.*"If Obamacare is in fact not repealed, we will find tactics to shallow out any Obamacare costs and core strategies to pass that cost onto consumers in order to protect our shareholders' best interests."

I have news for him. Obamacare will cause everything to go up. It is just part of the failed economic system that the progressives are trying to bring about.

The Affordable Heath care Act will lower the cost of health care. HERE is a failed economic system, and it is not progressive of liberal.

According to a 2004 report released by U.S. Representative George Miller, one 200-employee Wal-Mart store may cost federal taxpayers $420,000 per year because of the need for federal aid (such as housing assistance, tax credits, and health insurance assistance) for Wal-Mart's low-wage employees. Moreover, many corporations fill their labor needs offshore in order to exploit unorganized workers in low-cost and politically friendly countries. Over 40 million people now work in export-processing or "free trade" zones. These areas, often exempt from national legislation, allow manufacturers to demand long hours, pay lower wages, and ignore health and safety regulations.

Factoring in workplace injuries, medical care required by the failure of unsafe products, health costs from pollution, and many others, external costs to U.S. taxpayers totaled $3.5 trillion in 1995 - four times higher than the profits of U.S. corporations that year ($822 billion). This sort of externalization toll is routinely evident in hazy skies, injured consumers, and impoverished workers in the United States and elsewhere.

Your post has nothing to do with my post.

The franchise fee is already built into the price of your pizza just so they can put that stupid name on the box.

Why aren't you complaining about that?

Probably because it's not federally mandated?

Papa John's claim is pure horseshit.

PJ franchises with less than 50 employees, which is probably almost all of them, are exempt.

Parttime employees are exempt.

What's going to raise pizza prices, if anything, are the rising prices of commodities associated with the drought.

What drought
