No arguments here.

I never understood why chain pizzas are never that good (except maybe Costco). Chain burgers are alright and some are actually decent, but chain pizzas are always kinda crappy.

My son worked for them..his first job.

The drivers (delivery guys)..it's a second job for most of them.
The store folks..mostly teenagers/college kids.

The adults here are the mgr and asst mgr.

Not too many will need insurance from Papa John's that work there.

That story doesn't add up.

In essence she said she could continue paying the $90/month or pay the fine of $2000/month for each employee.
Well duh..that's a no brainer..pay the $90/month and keep the employee insured.
OKay firstly, the $2000 is the fine for a year. Secondly, she matches each employee $90+90=$180 per employee, per month or $2080 per year.

Also:
In 2011, her business income was $36,627.

Then Nichols paid $3,875, or 10.59 percent, for federal income tax. Another $14,048, or 38.35 percent of her income, went to state franchise tax; and $14,122, or 38.56 percent, was paid to the county for property taxes.

That comes to a total of $32,045, or 87.49 percent of her income, she had to pay on the "Big Three" taxes (federal income, state franchise tax, property tax) alone, she said. After those taxes were paid, she was left with $4,582 income

See how those wealthy business people don't pay enough. Bankrupting my own business and laying off 6 employees was the best thing I ever did. I couldn't compete with the illegal crews anymore. Now I'm lower middle class with little cash flow, and happier for it.

Local pizza is the only way to go. I wouldn't feed my dog Papa Johns or any other national chain pizza.
Not at all. I have a problem with the hypocrisy of calling out Romney and his support base, while ignoring Obama. It's the pot calling the kettle black.

I agree that his star power helped the movies to be a success, but the producers and the investors were the job creators, not Clooney.

As I said, of the three PJs is the best. Dominoes used to be pretty good, but then they also gave the pizza for free if it wasn't there in 30 mins. Chain pizza isn't a deal anymore either. The local joints serve a better pizza, and many deliver as well. Supporting local business is always a preferable thing to do.

My bad..you're right, it's $2K per year.
She pays $90/month and the employee pays $90/month. She doesn't pay the full insurance.

And yeah..all those other taxes you never hear about..unbelievable what franchise folks have to pay to run one store.
