The only difference between John Schnattner and those other guys being vocal about what they're doing and almost everyone else is that John Schnattner and those other guys are being open and up front about what they're doing and why they're doing it.
Not at all. It's the same BS argument the entire right wing gives, that being utterly selfish is somehow justified or serves a higher purpose. He has no higher motive than greed for the sake of greed. Except, maybe, getting his name out there and making a big deal about himself.
And if you think that it's purely a personal view on his end, go watch the tug-of-war of Wikipedia edits by his paid lobbyists. The man is a stooge for the anti-American lobby.
The reason for the pizza promo nonsense is the same reason that the right wing has always tried to drag the level of political discourse down and remove any sense of gravity from political affairs. Their platform is such a joke that the only way to make it sound reasonable is to turn politics itself into a joke. Trying to contextualize life-or-death issues with pizza specials.
The way you form your ideas and argue points is living, breathing proof of that. When cornered by facts and logic you turn to the same antics you see on Fox, because in no other context can what you believe in seem reasonable.

Be thankful you have a job. Just not too thankful since your employer is probably going to cut you down to part-time hours to avoid sending money to the government because of the ACA.
Idiotic for the most obvious of reasons which is that
the work has to get done. If the worker isn't working then neither is the business. The money isn't "going to the government", follow the money...it winds up in the hands of primary care physicians.
Again this is the America-hater argument. The alternative to the money going to govt, or physicians, as you like it, is it remaining in the hands of the very wealthy. The premise of Jubber's position is that others' greed will somehow pay off his own.
Never mind that Jubber has spent most of his life on government welfare getting fat (well, not fat - obese, actually) on taxpayer money, then blowing more taxpayer money on crack.
Anyway, uh, hope you get the job, React. I would be optimistic. Just be calm and simple.
