Their pizza is terrible, I'm surprised so many idiots order enough of that crap for him to afford a house like that in the first place. |

I've got nothing against him personally (he looks like a tool), but there's something sinister about naming yourself Papa John.... |

So because this guy said he's going to have to make employees redundant over changes to his company's liabilities(he seems to know how to run a successful company having built it up, and considering the fat cats get more profit for employees that produce more then they cost he's not going to chuck them away and get less money). People get soooo outraged at the loss of workers that they boycott the business in the hope it what, goes bankrupt? Loses a lot of profit? and all more or all the employees get made redunant? Yes us proles are soooo much smarter then the fatcats.... |

I don't fully understand why all the right-wingers believe health care for every body is a bad thing and will leave Americans broke.
Look at canada; free health care and for the first time Canadians net house worth is higher then Americans (although you could blame that on how our government handled the recession and the fact that they have a tighter grip on their banks).
Canadians also spend less of their GDP on health care. And if any ones wondering, their life expectancy is higher (although there are many different factors that come into play for that). |

I've never liked 'Papa John', the guy used to be an executive for Pizza Hut and stole trade secrets and supplier lists from them. Then he opens his own pizza chain and claims "Better ingredients", when it's the same suppliers and ingredients.
Either you're straight-out making sh*t up, or the entire rest of the world is. Wow. Based on past experience, I'll go with the former. |

@HG, That's not true at all. His competitors happen to be in America too right? You don't think they are also going to have to accommodate the same cost increase?
Not if they have fewer than 50 employees. Many pizza restaurant owners are independent or franchisees who fall into that category.
And the punishment isn't having to pay a little extra for pizza, but rather for EVERYTHING. And don't forget that millions of people are going to lose their jobs over this before it's over. They're the ones who are REALLY going to pay the price for ObamaCare and the rest of his failed and failing Marxist policies.
And don't you think that if they thought they could get away with a 15-cent price increase without losing business they'd have done it already? |

Besides the fact that the whole "14 cents per pizza" was a bogus bloated figure considering most Papa John's are franchises with too few full-time employees to be required to provide health insurance. |

as far as delivery chain, still the best tasting. plus with their rewards points i get a poo load of free pizzas. so yes i will still buy from them. deal with it. higher operating costs results it either higher product costs or lower employee wages. thats how our economy is supposed to work. |

I agree with Cracr. Just because he's wealthy doesn't mean he's allowed to push his anarchist agenda on his employees.

"the guy used to be an executive for Pizza Hut and stole trade secrets and supplier lists from them."
Dude. You are a misinformation machine.
"In 1983, at the age of 22, Schnatter started delivering pizza out of his father's co-owned tavern in Jeffersonville, Indiana. In the same year, he sold his 1971 Camaro Z28 to purchase the other half of the tavern in what became his family's first "pizza place." Today, the Papa John’s franchise has 4,000 restaurants in 50 states and 30 countries."

He has never had any association with Pizza Hut other than getting sued by them. |

You only hear guys like him talking about taking jobs/hours/wages from the lowest payed workers, never the over-payed executives.

Despite my dislike for him, he can do whatever he wants with his business. This post is pure class warfare BS. It doesn't matter how wealthy he is, that's no excuse to try and push socialist propaganda on the public. |

Ollie - I think a proper examination of who is butthurt over what might show butthurt coming more from the losers than winners, but butthurt analysis is tricky. I concede potential butthurt on both sides, but the "14 cents is too much so f*ck my employees" is demonstrative of more butthurt than those saying, "wow, a Rich Republican willing to screw his minimum wage employees is a dick." But yes, butthurt abounds. |

All those chain pizza places suck anyway. I prefer locally owned mom & pop places. There's one in the town upstate I grew up in that's family owned & operated and it's been around for over 50 years. One time some prick thought it would be a good idea to put a Domino's around the corner a few years ago and failed miserably. I thought it was awesome because you never see sh*t like that! Usually it's the big corporation that comes in and runs the little guy out of town but it didn't work! |

Auburn - don't make up facts. He is the CEO & Chairman of the Board. He both runs the daily operations (CEO) and steers the direction of the company from a policy level (Chairman). He is NOT a figure head. Don't try and explain away - he's a Repupblican a-hole, and you're right, it's his choice. God Bless America. |
