Ray Kroc, the founder of the world’s most successful fast food chain, was born 107 years ago this week. The one-time milkshake machine salesman was born on Oct. 5, 1902. He opened his first McDonald’s 52 years later. Today, it is almost impossible to grasp how huge the company he founded has become.
McDonald’s has some 15,000 restaurants in this country with 85 percent of them owned by franchisees. And listen to what those outlets have accomplished: More than half of the workers in America today got their very first job at a McDonald’s somewhere. The company has made more millionaires—and especially more black and Hispanic millionaires—than any other entity ever.
My grandmother, who was an amazingly astute business-woman, had the chance to buy into McDonalds on the ground floor but my grandfather, famously, pronounced it a "bad investment" because "people won't eat that crap food".

You bet I am, this board gets more like AHWBound every day........no liberal can so much as ask a question about something a conservative posts without a full on attack from the conservative defense league here. They don't want to defend or discuss their posts, they just want everyone to nod their head in agreement...and if you don't.....well they have a long list of insults they can use.
