Goedjn,
McDonalds' 2006 4th Quarter Report showed a 22% Net Profit **AFTER
TAXES**
on 5.6 BILLION dollars sales for 3 months. What contractor of any size
does
22% net profit? No, better yet who in the **** does 22% net profit
**AFTER
TAXES**?


Since McDonalds isn't a contractor but mainly a franchisor, it's
meaningless to compare their margins to that of a contractor.


Shaun,
Your right... I must be screwing up somewhere, my net pre-tax profit was
only 47% for 2006. I guess I just didn't charge enough.
