Big Burger Reaps Windfall Profits

Seems to me a Congressional hearing is in order. How can a company in good conscience reap a profit surge of 42% in one quarter?

Have they no shame?

Burger King Holdings says its profit surged 42 percent in its fiscal fourth quarter, driven by improved sales and marketing. The results are above Wall Street expectations.

The Miami-based fast-food restaurant chain said Thursday it earned $51 million, or 37cents per share, in the quarter ended June 30. That's up from $36 million, or 26 cents per share, a year ago.

It says revenue rose 9 percent to $646 million.
