were funding my growing brewery, but it seems like they might have agreed to it if they had been disposed to consider it. The interest rate they charge on unpaid taxes is better than any bank would have offered me, and the “loan” helped support the brewery’s cash flow and ultimately helped to generate the remittance of millions of dollars of my current and future employees’ income taxes as well as many, many more millions in future excise-tax payments. It was a classic win-win.
