While going through some polling on the Kaine Allen Race in VA, I came across this little gem in a poll from August which is about a month old from PPP. Remember when the CEO of Papa John's John Schnatter, who is publicly supporting Rmoney, made mention of raising prices because of healthcare:
"Our best estimate is that the Obamacare will cost 11 to 14 cents per pizza, or 15 to 20 cents per order from a corporate basis," Schnatter said.
"We're not supportive of Obamacare, like most businesses in our industry. But our business model and unit economics are about as ideal as you can get for a food company to absorb Obamacare," he said.
"If Obamacare is in fact not repealed, we will find tactics to shallow out any Obamacare costs and core strategies to pass that cost onto consumers in order to protect our shareholders best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," Schnatter vowed.
Some took that as a threat and that if big bad Obamacare doesn't go away I rich guy will have to raise pizza prices for the lowly proletariat, but a funny thing happened so follow below the Orange of TRUTH
