    For a minute there, I thought he was arguing that we could save money and lower taxes

    Small business healthcare costs are tax deductible...

    No they are not. It's a cost of doing business.

    I bet the low income workers working for Papa Johns overwhelmingly voted for Obama.

    Are they going to see their hours being cut as evidence that they made the wrong choice? Not a chance.

    More part time, low pay, no benefit jobs to come I see. But, it's a double edged sword, it's what's going to happen when you add 40 million new patients to an already full medical care system.....

    This is in Canada where nationwide health care has been in place for many years. Now imagine dumping an additional 40 million patients into our existing system while adding precious few doctors is any at all.

    Doctor Shortage Spreading in U.S. Presaged in Las Vegas

    Get ready to wait America, if you think there's a doctor shortage NOW, just wait till all those new patients enter an already full system.

    Read the stats above. 9.5 weeks (over 2 months) from regular doctor to even just talking to a specialist. Imagine having colitis that long with no relief? Better stock up on toilet paper, your going to need it. Now remember Canada has had that system in place for a long time WITHOUT adding 40 million new customers. By the time of the 2014 mid terms folks will be screaming for the heads of those who voted for Obama care. Starting in Jan 2014 I plan on publishing a list of all Congressmen/women who voted for it on a regular basis in as many places as possible.

    The people want businesses to suffer a fate equal to the evil that stems from the greed we are made of. They want full force spending, unleashed printing presses and a limitless credit limit. They want everything they can get while projecting their greed onto business owners and leaving our grandchildren to pay for the greed in themselves they refuse to see. That is where we are today.

    Yep. There's no possible way that Papa John's can afford to provide helath insurance without increasing prices or laying people off...

    Yes, clearly, this man will be driven into abject poverty if he treats his works better...

    It is his business. If they don't like working for him they should quit. If you don't like it don't buy his pizza.

    Papa Johns just lost business from liberals, one of his main customer base are liberal college kids.

    So he is going to be treated like chick fe lay now. I won't buy his pizza during football games anymore, for coming out against OBama care.

    He's not serious right? No one will give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about 14 cents. If you think you can afford a 10 dollar pizza but not a 10.14 dollar pizza, you probably can't afford a 10.00 pizza either.
    You guys realize this is "Papa Johns" House right?

    Yeah, he is a billionaire who lives in a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing castle and he is (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about 14 cents and he is cutting jobs "because of the extra cost". What a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing (*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

    He can't lower his prices for pies like the liberal pizza hut and dominoes corporations because he think's he's somehow special.

    They aren't complaining about obama care , only papa johns is because he is a greedy republican employer who doesn't want to give his employees health care.

    That's so papa john doesn't have to pay health care to his employees under Obama care.

    Now he's going to have to sell golf course to provide a minimum wage pizza flipper access to a physician.

    As hard as that is to stomach, its a violation of his economic liberty to be as rich as he likes.

    I don't buy Papa John's.

    I just trying to point out that his claim that he "can't" provide healthcare to his employees without raising prices or firing people is utter bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    So your logic is that if the employers didn't have to offer any benefits and could get by with paying them minimum wage everyone in America could have a job. Some company should do that. It could tell its executives that their pay will be cut to $35,000 a year or about twice what its minimum wage workers make.

    Liberals just need to understand you can't regulate everyone's behavior. If you set the limit at 30 hours before one of your new taxes kicks in, then employers will have incentive to move to 29 hours. Then what do you have to do? Another regulation.

    I think we've actually hit the breaking point. No turning back from the endless regulation game now.

    Small businesses will evaporate.
