Some folks might complain that you're getting grub stubs. Not me. I do not mind. I pay a fucking ton in taxes (you don't even wanna know) and I'm pretty happy with what I get for them. I'm pretty confident that I pay more taxes than any other person on this site. 'Snot a problem. Y'all go ahead and eat - and eat good. I kind of like the idea of you being well fed and not roving around hungry and angry.

I want you to be happy, healthy, hopeful, and potentially productive. I want that for your kid, too. It means you're less likely to steal my stuff! I like my stuff, that's why I bought it.

That's a figurative you, not you in particular. Though I do want you happy, healthy, educated, productive to your capacity, and hopeful. I want you to enjoy the same basic liberties I enjoy.

I don't mind paying taxes. I could easily pay more than I do. Technically, I don't even write everything off that I could. I like paying my share. It's the cost of living in society and I'm pretty partial to society. I also don't want people stealing my stuff and trying to eat my face because they are hungry.

If I caught you breaking into my house, and I deemed you not a threat, I'd feed you. Then, over a delicious dessert, we're going to discuss how you can earn some money. I can get most anyone a job. It won't be the greatest job, but it'll be enough to get by. It is a long story, but I am a silent partner in some local franchises. I'm also in the club, so to speak. It'd probably be making coffee that America runs on, or being a sandwich artist. But, it's a job and they pay better than minimum wage. Full time too, if it's wanted.

Right now, we mostly employ college kids. We'd love local folks. We start at $12.50 an hour - in Maine. That's really, really good for Maine. It's damned good for the Farmington area.
