kane, why do people keep saying that McDonalds workers are all on welfare?

Go to McDonalds. Ask the guy behind the counter if he has a cellphone. Ask him if he owns a car. Ask him if he has a girlfriend or wife that he lives with that also has a job.

Are there some people working jobs at McDonalds who might be gaming the system to get govt. checks? I'm sure of it.

Do they really need it?

Well...I've traveled a LOT in the U.S. since the late 1970's. Hell, I toured 7 nights a week in different towns with my bands all over the country up until the mid 1990's.

I've seen McDonald's restaurants in every town from Key West to Flint Michigan to Jackson Mississippi to Los Angeles and everywhere in between.

Most times the people working at McDonalds had more money at the end of the week than we did in our traveling band after expenses.
If I had $200 a week it was a GOOD week.

And I have NEVER taken a govt. check.

How did we do that? And now it can't be done?

This is bullshit.
