You get a million bucks and your first thought is buying a fast food chain?
Fail.

Fail for wanting to turn a million bucks into an even more ridiculous pile of cash? Are you serious?

Buying a Wendy's in the offramp is the most efficient way of turning a million bucks into an even more ridiculous pile of cash? Are you serious?

WTF? Hell yeah dude. Look at the yearly gross income of a McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's etc. Them places pull in tons of cash.

Specifically McDonalds...as the owner you do nothing but collect your cut of the profit. McDonald's Corp. Manages, oversee's, runs, maintains the place. You as the owner and investor collect a check.

Once you get enough to buy another one you go. Once you own like 10 franchises....you're making 7 figures easy.

- Franchise fees, marketing, and royalties- $45k, +12.5% & 4%
- Annual sales-1.3m

- Gross profit- $916k

Selling votes would only lead to greater political corruption though.

The presidency might as well already just be a huge prize for which candidate can raise the most money. What if the person who has the most money can actually increase the amount of votes they receive by buying them...It would be a disaster.

Uh, do0d, that's already a real scenario, not a what if.

How so?

They pay me to vote by promising me a tax break.

That's a little different though. All candidates "buy" votes in this sense. Whether it is supporting a certain cause, or as you said, promise a tax break.

Votes are purchased all the time. Hell, out here they round up the illegals and pay them to vote for XYZ candidate.
Yes, they pay people that can't legally vote to vote and they do it.

I had no idea. Link to any sort of credible source?
