Putting aside the question of who is she to tell someone else how to run his own business, the author does not say how many people she actually employed. If it were only her, her friend, and her pet poodle, maybe an executive pay cut would work.
But Papa John's has over 4000 locations. So it must have tens of thousands of employees. A small business model would not work here.
Math is hard....
From http://ir.papajohns.com/faq.cfm:
"As of December 2011, there were approximately 16,500 employees."Just for fun, let's note John Schnatter's total annual compensation listed in post #31 (if I am interpreting it correctly):$2,745,220.
Now, let's take that entire amount away from the disgusting greedy capitalist pig who didn't build that and and spread his disgusting unjust compensation evenly among the 16,500 workers -- the little guys, the moral nobility. They'd be on easy street after that, right?
Here's the hard part. It's called "division.":
$2,745,220/16,500 = $166.38
Gosh, my calculator must be broken. That can't be right. $166.38 won't even pay for one person's health insurance for a year!
Leftists never learn how to do the math of their "soak the rich" schemes.
Given 10 employees at each location, a $100 Christmas bonus would cost the company four million bucks. (and ten is a number out of the blue). As a raise, not counting all the extra pay in for SS taxes and worker's comp/unemployment, that'd be a whopping 2 dollars a week per person--about a nickel an hour.
So, if the owner is making 4 million a year, a nickel an hour raise would wipe out his pay (and then some).
Obamacare will cost a lot more than a nickel an hour per employee...
