GREAT POINT, except I make it conversely.

Me to Papa John : "Be honest, it's not about the lousy 50 cents, it's about punishing people for supporting Obama."

I'm not about to support people making pigheaded whiny political stands. The fact that he very publicly announced a price increase says that he's not doing it as a business decision, he's doing it to make a pissy fit. An intelligent businessperson wouldn't increase prices and make it a hot news item. The whole point is to make a stink to promote his political views and it will come at the expense of his bottom line.

If you're not going to eat his pizza because you don't like it, that's one thing. But if you're boycotting the business to make a statement, that's another. Go ahead, stick it to "the man" if it makes you feel better. The truth is that he is loaded already. You're not going to hurt him - he'll be fine no matter what. The only people you're going to hurt are his employees, who will lose their jobs if business declines.

Their pizza sucks and is loaded with too much unnecessary sugar and salt. I can get much better pizza for much less.

You people really can't see that what the man was talking about was that when his franchisees have to pay all that money for insurance premiums or pay the fine they will have to absorb the loss somehow and it is only fair that the losers of the left get to pay their fair share.

I wonder why all here, so far, have spent their time talking about a crappy product and not one has mentioned what he meant when he made that promise. Oh well, left is left and right is right and that must be why I can see things you people can't.

Damn you're right, how can I really stick it to the guy? You think the flaming-poo-bag-on-front-stoop trick will work?

I think there is a chance that our leaners will try to boycott him not knowing that they are so few that they can't hurt him like Obamacare will.

So, it's ok for him to make a political statement (and profit) by raising prices? Whatever, this is nothing more than a ploy to score points on healthcare implementation and save/make a buck which is all his kind cares about. I hope he chokes on a fat one and goes out of business. Plenty of reputable franchises and mom and pops will gladly assume his market share without the associate dbaggery.

I believe we all understand that; we know the consequence for having ObamaCare. We're saying that ObamaCare isn't the sole reason for a price increase, it's also that Rpmney lost.

I accept it completely. Things are already made more expensive to pay employees minimum wage and make employers responsible for injuries, not to mention make sure our food is safe, buildings don't fall down, etc.
