Supporting claim 1: The fast food corporations are using our social system to their advantage. An executive doesn’t think about morality, he thinks about turning a profit. And that’s what capitalism is all about.
Evidence: private ownership
Evidence: expanding accumulation of profit
Evidence: theiving of Indian land. What America started on.
Supporting claim 2: Fast Food ♥ Capitalism, We should be grateful
Evidence: Made getting food easy
Evidence: Made getting good cheap
Evidence: Did this all with the help of capitalism.
Gem Quotes:
"As it is, citizens of every social and economic standing have daily access--in minutes--to a balanced meal denied to kings only two centuries ago." -http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=131
"Only the advent of capitalism, particularly in America, made this possible, and fast food has played a key role in our times in making it so."
