I could care less about McDonald’s. They support abortion.

"I could care less about McDonald’s. They support abortion."

The corporate office might, but that doesn't mean the individual franchise owners do.

That's the biggest problem with the news and how they represent this story. The guy who owns a McDonald's franchise in Hicktown, USA isn't making nearly the profit margin of the corporate office, nor is he making anywhere near the same amount as the lucky SOB who happens to have the territory that allows them to put one outside the front gate of a military base either.

The MSM clumps all of this together when in fact they are two separate entities when it comes to profit. Yes, it might cost $.25 (actual) for a Big Mack, but tell that to your local franchise owner and watch him bust out laughing. That is the corporate office's cost, sure as hell not what he has to pay for all of the ingredients combined including logistics, yet that part of it is glossed over completely by the reporters.

If they are making so much money then why is Wendy's and Arby's both on the short list for declaring bankruptcy this year also?
