How many bottles of ketchup must be sold in one year to pay the cost of the health care mandated by Obamacare for 400 people?

Up till a couple of months ago. They've been sold to Berkshire Hathaway (i.e. Warren Buffet). Likely trying to raise some more cash to use to bribe Democrats not to build pipelines.

Does Heinz make Catsup or Ketchup?

This should add to Kerry’s wealth. Wait! Is he exporting American Jobs?

It is still my favorite ketchup. Of course, I was eating it long before Horse-Face married into the family. I guess I can go back to using it again, now that the company has been sold.

I should’ve said, “I miss the days when we were at 5% unemployment, and Willie made every layoff headline news.” I don’t miss him at all.

“350 layoffs to take place in Pittsburgh”

There are only about 1,000 people employed in the private sector in Pittsburgh. This is going to be quite a blow.
