Wanker of the Day: John Schnatter
So the CEO of Papa John's pizza is threatening to raise prices because of Obamacare.
It's one of the coldest, most blatant pitches I've ever seen -- "vote for Romney or we'll charge you more".
Nearly all I might have to say on the matter is said at the Daily Kos diary linked above, but there is one more thing that occurs to me: If the price increase is (depending on, I dunno, somethin') between eleven and twenty cents a pizza... does he really think anyone is going to care?
"If we have to pay for health care for all these people, I'm gonna charge you an extra couple of dimes per pizza" seems like a very reasonable trade.
ETA: Yep, that seems to be a common reaction.
