Good Evening Joe!
Good point. "McDonalds franchisees made only about 4.6 percent profit off of their sales at restaurants inside of the United States" It infers something that as you state is simply not true.
The reality is that McDonalds is more profitable than it's franchisees. With service industries becoming a greater percentage of American employment the issue is whether or not we are capable of making sure that American workers are earning a living wage. It is simplistic nonsense to compare an American's wages to somebody flipping hamburgers in Beijing or Moscow under the Golden Arches. A five dollar cup of coffee served to you at Starbucks by a kid earning $7.50 an hour is not capitalism running amuk. It is rape.
Henry Ford knew a hundred years ago that his workers should be able to afford the cars they were making. If we accept impoverishment as a benefit of employment we make fools of American workers. It makes me rage to contemplate communists and socialists pontificating on social justice. Social justice for the American worker is supposed to come from our 435 Congressmen, and 100 Senators.
