[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7794970, member: 76758"] There are folks on here who will tell you that the success of McDonalds is the free market at work. They are wrong, because there is no such thing as a free market. The free market is an academic concept that only exists in economics text books. The success of McDonalds has been funded by the taxpayer at every turn. The taxpayer has paid for the refuse technicians to collect the detritus from urban litter bins and rural verges. The taxpayer has underwritten the contracts to build the incinerators and landfill sites to dispose of that crap. The taxpayer has built the motorways to haul the buns, burgers and gherkins the length and breadth of the country. The taxpayer pays for the welfare system that tops up the income of the burger flippers on the minimum wage. Your big mac isn't as cheap as you think it is. It costs all of us a fortune. [/QUOTE]
