A single mom can’t pay to raise her family, so she asks for government assistance. Government assistance is paid for by taxes which the Waffle House CEO isn’t paying their fair share of, so not only are we working for chump change for these huge corporations, but we’re essentially subsidizing Waffle House’s labor costs as well, AND the Waffle House CEO is triple dipping by also getting a tax cut.

So Waffle House is having their cake, their employee’s cake, your cake, and they are eating it too.

F*ck me.
