Yet another case in Fast Food Nation that displays the government sleeping with franchisees. A governmental agency called Small Business Administration or SBA is supposed to finance new and up in coming restaurants. SBA was supposed to give these new restaurants a fighting chance, by loaning them money. These loans of course coming from tax payers’ pockets instead weren’t going to small restaurants but to already huge established restaurants like Berger King. Burger King was experimenting in locations and instead of using their own money the government paid for it and when the experiments failed the restaurant Mongol didn’t lose a penny but the tax payers did.
This type of corruption is in excusable. The whole point of SBA is for the average Joe or Jane to use the free market to their advantage, yet the King of Burgers is using the agency for a win, win situation. Why is no one being sued for this abuse in the system? My law makers aren’t for the people but for the corporations, but tax payers money is for the government?
