Papa John's CEO: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut [W:387]

are you being paid to say "Parasite Nation "?

I want Parasite Nation to be the national reference to those who vote for and support the parasitic policies of the Democrat Party.
It is short and accurate.
It irritates the proponents of Parasite Nation... because they know deep down it's accurate.
Some may take a look at what they believe and think... and change.

It's not demographics that did us in... it's Parasite Nation and Para-sita-claus.

Creating Parasites is their philosophy... they create parasites so they depend on the state, Parasite Nation also appeals to the ignorant... the dimwitted Socialists they have.

What do you do for a living Zimmer? And what if I'm a Papa John's employee who voted for Romney but I'm now getting healthcare anyway, am I still a parasite?
 
Election results still hitting Zimmer hard I see....

I think he's about to snap, either that or like a little kid he needs to run around just get all out of him before he gets too tired and takes a nap.
 
Which would first take the realization that the Republocrats as a whole are driving us in this direction. But many don't care, many just want to point fingers at the other side and pretend their side will solve all the problems. That's the real problem with this amount of toxic partisanship...people stop thinking.

Problem is, all that creates is the two sides of the same big government coin. Its been tried, I know some on the left will go into meltdown but for the most part and in so far as government expansion/assistance, Bush was not far off from Obama, at all. Child Tax Credits (which is the new welfare system), massive expansion of government, etc.

The name of the game is freebies. Whomever offers the most wins. I guarantee if the GOP dropped the bulk of its social conservative positions and ran strictly on small, accountable and responsible government, they'd lose by bigger margins.
 
So giving people insurance makes people parasites? I think you don't understand what the definition of parasite is. Am I a parasite because I get insurance at my 40-60 hour week job? Does that ten hours really make people parasites?

No, the fact that everyone believes their work is worth more than it really is, so they use the government to force private enterprise to overpay them makes them parasites.
 
What if I'm a Papa John's employee and I voted for Romney... am I still a parasite?

Obviously not. Did you really have to ask?
Those who support and vote for Parasite Nation are parasites... ignorant or Socialist (the previous two explanations would suffice for Socialists).

What if I didn't vote at all?

And how do you earn your living man, I bet there's the helping hand of the government in their somewhere.

I've never understood the mindset that some people have: "I should be paid more." If one doesn't like what they're being paid, they need to find a new job. Or work up into management. I've been self-employed most of my life. The few times I wasn't? I was always promoted because that's what I wanted.

My mom's "boyfriend" (she's 85, he's 84) has groused for YEARS about how little he made at Sunbeam Corporation. He so resents the 35 years he spent there. Good Lord! They offered him promotions. He didn't want them. Wanted to do his job, punch the clock and not accept any responsibility. Those employees are a dime a dozen. And an awful lot of employees think exactly the way he does. "Hey! Just let me do my job and go home." That's not the way to succeed. That's the way to stay at a company for 35 years as a machine operator and complain about being underpaid.
 
Every day since Obama was re-elected, I've read more and more deranged comments by those who supported the white guy in this last election. Often the words I read sound like someone could use professional mental counselling . . . A President who has failed to take away guns from Americans, a President who has been more successful in leading the "War on Terror", a President who has saved large corporations from going under, a President who has not forced the IRS into churches that preach against him, a President who has attempted to compromise with the most obstinate Congress in history -- yet some continue to rant and rave about the Marxist secret Muslim living in the White House -- it ain't rational folks.

Step back, take a breath or two, and THINK (you are required to use facts)

What I do for a living really is none of your business... except it has had me travel the world fairly extensively, and not just travel, but live in a host of socialist nations. I've spent half my life on both sides of the pond. I don't speak about Parasite Nation out of theory, but experience... and Parasite Nation is a nightmare... but here is the catch...

When you know how to navigate through Parasite Nation... they lock out competition for you with their bureaucracy!!!
It favors those who are wealthy... and keeps those down that Parasite Nation claims they want to assist.
When it takes 2 to 7-years and 40 agencies to get something fairly straight forward done...you kill a lot of competition.

These experiences are partially why I turned from Socialist to Conservative, plus the stark difference doing business outside the US... though US states differ, and some US states are as hostile as the worst EU states; namely CA & FL.

It is a world of trade offs. The field I work in I could likely get paid more if I were more willing to travel (though I am compensated well). I don't have a lot of interest in travelling because I have young family. I'd rather be home more during these younger years. I accept that I may limit my income some during this time, and I sure as hell am not going to expect my employer to pay me more because of the decisions I have made.

It is sad that America has embraced the attitude "I don't have to work for it, I just have to ask for it." That attitude is not going to help America out in the long run.

People pay you for things? I hope it isn't for your writing.
 
Papa John's CEO: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut

Why can't people just do what the President wants of them? What good is it if you are the most powerful person in the world and yet people have the right to oppose you. Something must be done to fix this injustice. When someone wants to do what is right for the country, then opposition should stop and everyone should get with the pogram.
 
Election results still hitting Zimmer hard I see....

Jet... you rarely have anything worth debating to say. If your posts were a beer... it would have ZERO calories. There is nothing there.
You throw out barbs... which OK..is fun, but you add almost nothing to the debate.

What is it about Parasite Nation you disagree with?
How about starting there.
Where has Parasite Nation succeeded?

Jet... this is a debate forum... and we had an election. Parasite Nation won.
For my life it has ZERO impact. None. But I love America, and have seen what socialism has done to destroy the ambition and souls of people.
How it has corrupted them. I find it sad, tragic and the road to hell.
You may like the fact there is a party that breeds Parasitic behavior. You may enjoy being one and supporting Parasite Nation.

Does Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, or Italy have any impact at all of your opinion of the danger of Parasite Nations?
Does the Kanuckistani Healthkare system make you pause and think about the failures of Parasite Nation?

Now... the next time you post... try to extend you thought process beyond a meaningless one liner.
How about engaging your brain and engaging in debate?

Who decides what's right for the nation?
 
So I wasn't sure if Zimmer was getting his opinions fed to him by Limbaugh until he threw in the Parasite Claus bit. Zimmer how should anyone take you seriously when you have no opinion of your own? What the **** would you do if you quit listening to the radio and watching tv? Gasp! Maybe you would form an honest opinion that looks at all people as people of the greatest nation on Earth and not some retard catchphrase.
 
Every day since Obama was re-elected, I've read more and more deranged comments by those who supported the white guy in this last election.

Thanks for race baiting.

Often the words I read sound like someone could use professional mental counselling . . . A President who has failed to take away guns from Americans,

It wasn't for lack of wanting to.

a President who has been more successful in leading the "War on Terror",

Agreed. Keeping gitmo open, extending and expanding the Patriot Act, using drones to kill terrorists and innocents alike, adding participation in conflicts in other middle east and african nations. This peace prize nobel laureate president is really taking it to them. I'd like to thank the mainstream media for not discussing these facts.

a President who has saved large corporations from going under,

What corporations? Do you think Obama saved GM? GM didn't need a bailout to file chapter 11 bankruptcy, which would have had the same result except the secured lenders wouldn't have been screwed to benefit the overpaid union.

a President who has not forced the IRS into churches that preach against him,

But this President is forcing churches to pay for things that are contrary to their belief system. I imagine most churches would prefer to lose their tax status than to be forced to murder babies.

a President who has attempted to compromise with the most obstinate Congress in history

You mean the Congress that was lead by the democrats in both the house and the senate for the first two years of Obama's presidency? If Obama hadn't wasted his first two years cramming Obama care down our throats he may have been able to get other agenda items done.

-- yet some continue to rant and rave about the Marxist secret Muslim living in the White House -- it ain't rational folks.

Step back, take a breath or two, and THINK (you are required to use facts)

He is a marxist. Every policy he implements is from a marxist playbook. In fact, he admits in his book that he chose to be close to marxist professors. Those are his own words. It aint rational that you are so ignorant of your marxist president.

Jet... you rarely have anything worth debating to say.

Well than I guess that makes two of us now doesn't it.

You throw out barbs... which OK..is fun, but you add almost nothing to the debate.

That's because in your threads or with pretty much anything you say, there's nothing to debate.

Your views are based on a fictional universe that exists only within your own mind, you don't live in reality you live in a partisan fantasy universe where the Dunning-Kruger Effect is in full swing with you.

Politically you are utterly incompetent.

How about engaging your brain and engaging in debate?

No how about you do that.

For years I have read your tripe on this forum that has almost 9/10 been devoid of any factual relevancy related to our living universe.

'Giving' people is one thing. Being forced to provide for someone else is entirely different. And unless you are paying for your insurance as a component of a benefits package (part of your mutually agreed to equitable compensation) then yes...you are being a parasite...if you are draining others resources against their will. If so, then you are not. Shocking you dont understand that.
 
'Papa John' just has sand in his mangina. First he says it will costs another 14 cents per pizza to provide healthcare and now he is going to take cover under part-time labor. :roll:

He will have to hire more people to cover the dropped hours so I guess that helps Obama on the employment front...

14 cents more per pizza vs hurting his employees by cutting their hours much less denying them healthcare coverage.

Spiteful bastard he is, guess that is how you make it in the business world- petty, spiteful, willing to hurt those who work for you to make a political statement...

Romnifigant!
 
What if I'm a Papa John's employee and I voted for Romney but since Obama won I'm getting health insurance anyway, am I still a parasite?
If you suck and drain away resources you dont pay for then yes...regardless of who you voted for, then you are.

On the plus side...all those that are upset with Johns comments...take comfort in knowing that YOU TOO can bust your ass, build a successful business...and then of your own free will share equally with whoever you want and not have to be forced into anything. In fact...I cant WAIT for all the so very outraged people that are angry at capitalist businessmen to finally step the **** up and start creating all those jobs the country needs. Especially since...you know...they 'know' so much better about how to make it work. Get crackin, folks...theirs people with their hands out waitin for you!
 
petty, spiteful, willing to hurt those who work for you to make a political statement...

Tell that to all the people who have small businesses that will let people go and will not hire because of the increased costs.

Are they spiteful, hurtful, and making a political statement? Papa John's is just a metaphor for what will happen across the country.

Elections have consequences, and Obama's Parasite Nation is not something that inspires confidence or motivation to bust your ass... WHY?

Because you didn't build that... and because you didn't, it's not your money. That's the message.

WELCOME TO PARASITE NATION... WHERE WE SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND.
You have no other choice. I (Obama and the Socialists of Amerika Party (SAPs) are the deciders.
You sit down, shut up and do as we say.

Wait so you're just going to exclude me and say I'm whats wrong with America when I'm just trying to make enough to get by working at Papa Johns and the government happened to give me something I didnt' want?
 
When I see the left start actually trying to put limits on public benefits or enacting policies that will kick deadbeats off welfare instead of opposing it, then I will believe they are serious. Otherwise, I think they are just buying votes.
