What he tried to do was get people to turn against the ACA because he’d have to raise the price of a pizza by 15 cents to cover his employees. What kind of asshole would refuse to pay 15 cents more if it meant giving someone health insurance?
Either way the notion that the price of pizza is somehow devastating to the economy is absolutely ridiculous. Some of these guys would have you believe that your entire future is directly tied to their personal fortunes and if they lose a dime you'll be out on the streets. Why, if the richest people alive aren't allowed to get even richer they'll all stop wanting to be rich, close down every business and everyone will be out of work forever.
The next time you find a billionaire who decides that being rich is an undo burden and they're going to stop being rich because of the price of pizza be sure to let us all know..
Strange, but there are people who actually believe that foolishness..
