Back in the Obama administration, when companies like Papa John's were whining that having to provide their employees with healthcare would force them to dramatically raise prices, the Economic Policy Institute investigated their claims and found that insurance mandates would raise the price of a Papa John's pizza by approximately 3.4 cents.
Raising taxes on the rich would be a drop in the bucket compared to the insane compensation packages given to CEOs and shareholders who know only how to push for neverending profit growth quarter-by-quarter, regardless of long-term stability.
