CEO'S CLAIM POVERTY AND THREATEN TO RAISE PRICES, FIRE WORKERS AND CUT HOURS BECAUSE OF "OBAMACARE."

I have had enough of this woe is me bullshit from the Richie Richs of the world crying about how Obamacare was going to tack pennies onto their profits and decreasing their net worth by a days worth of money per year. Boo Fucking Hoo. Anybody worth billions screaming like a five year old throwing a tantrum over what amounts to chump change should be dragged out into the street and tarred and feathered, or worse guillotined, like the French once did to their out of control aristocracy.

Leading the pack, as always, was constant douchebag Robert Murray of Murray Energy Company. This was the same ass that forced his employees to attend a Mitt Romney campaign stop and then didn't pay them as "it wasn't mandatory," even though it was. Finding out his net worth was as easy as getting my girlfriend up in the morning and about as much fun. After a lot of research I found some info that described that, due to rising energy prices, his net worth was rumored to have skyrocketed from $400 million to over $4 billion, much like that Australian cow, Gina Rhinehart, and her mining company. Both of the assholes are almost certainly worth much more as there is no way they are telling the truth to anyone about how much they are REALLY worth. If you want two prime candidates for secret trillionaires, these two would be at the top of the pack.

And as energy prices have fallen, did either of these two eat the profits that made them rich beyond the dreams of avarice and not push them on their slave labor work force? Of course not. Obamacare is the scapegoat for all of this. The CEO's want an excuse to drop people from the ranks, drive up even more profit and blame Obama for the whole mess.

Murray announced the other day that 160 workers will be let go due to Obamacare mandates. Nevermind the fact that Murray could have easily eaten those costs considering his vast wealth, but instead cried "I'm so poor," and screwed his workers instead. I hope every single person who gets fired sues for discrimination, which will probably go nowhere, but worth a try. The other way could involve a bag of rabid weasels, some chloroform and a large stick.

The other huge figure to stick his feet in his mouth is Papa John founder John Schnatter, worth at least $600 million and most likely much more. Trying to find accurate numbers of rich people's net worth is surprisingly difficult to even get close estimates on. That's not too suspicious is it? This dick said, rather than raise the costs of his pizza $.14, that's fourteen freaking cents, he's going to have to lay off workers and lessen their hours. First off, I am dirt poor and I can afford 14 cents. Second, you have more money than God and spending a few hundred thousand a year on your workers is too much for you, you greedy bastard? I've seen your house, oops I mean a CASTLE with a damned moat, which you may need when the hungry masses storm your sorry ass. It may be because of your idiotic business practices or perhaps because your shitty pizza finally drove people mad. I never liked Papa John pizza anyway as I found the dough reminiscent of eating a tire and the sauce sweet enough to drop me into a diabetic coma.

Restaurants are most up in arms because they have been exploiting their workers for decades. The force their people to work for minimum wage plus tips, which can pay well, but never offer health insurance or benefits of any kind which cuts into any profit these people bring home. A CEO of 40 Applebees in the New York area, Zane Tankel, got into hot water by saying that instead of covering people, he will cut their hours below thirty and lower his staff to below fifty, meaning layoffs. Much like Murray and Schnatter, his true net worth is largely unknown but is definitely in the hundreds million range. As most restaurants have far less than 50 employees only the largest, and most easily able to afford health care, will be affected. They in turn will cry poverty and try to skirt the law. We cannot let this happen anymore.

If there was any further proof that corporations have way too much power read the above and tell me differently how it isn't happening. We can be fired for any reason in "right to work" states which is a bullshit law that in no way protects the average person and gives the billionaires of the world card blanche to treat us like cattle. I know as I have been tossed from companies more times for the lamest of reasons. They were always looking to save money by firing me and hiring someone else to do my job at half my salary. It's why wages have plummeted for the past few decades and, sheeple that we are, have let it happen. Well no more unless you want to wind up like Greece.

If you see a Papa John's in your neighborhood, do not eat there. And anyone you know that does make them feel like the assholes that they are for supporting such crap. Murray Energy needs to go away as well and people at local levels can petition to have the energy needs changed. If enough people start bitching about, the towns will find alternative companies to deal with. And any Applebees owned by Zane Tankel (and not all Applebees by the way) should be shunned. This method has worked wonders in killing places like Circuit City, Best Buy and now, JC Pennies. If we don't start standing up for our rights and universal health care we might as well dig a ditch, lie down in it and wait to die because that's the best care we can expect.
