      <![CDATA[@12: John, your concern for the barristas is touching.<br />
<br />
I have some good news for you. If a barrista's salary is high enough that they are required to pay the tax, yet they don't, there are no warrants, arrests, debtor's prison, or anything like that. The penalty is financial - 0.5% monthly to be exact - which comes to $12 per year. So that should come as a big relief to you!<br />
<br />
More good news - whether or not they pay that tax, they get health insurance!

The conservative grasp of reality has redshifted. Literally, not just metaphorically.<br />

Wherever you roam<br />
And admit that the waters<br />
Around you have grown<br />
And accept it that soon<br />
You'll be drenched to the bone<br />
If your time to you<br />
Is worth savin'<br />
Then you better start swimmin'<br />
Or you'll sink like a stone<br />
For the times they are a-changin'.<br />
<br />
Come senators, congressmen<br />
Please heed the call<br />
Don't stand in the doorway<br />
Don't block up the hall<br />
For he that gets hurt<br />
Will be he who has stalled<br />
There's a battle outside<br />
And it is ragin'<br />
It'll soon shake your windows<br />
And rattle your walls<br />
For the times they are a-changin'.
