I will sell your books on my website for 10%. For 20% I'll market your products for you too.
That way, when you have to wholesale to a distributor at a 60% markdown you still actually make something.

Also, this should not need to be said, because "promote the general welfare" def means feeding people, still it's worth noting that food stamps have a huge positive economic impact overall. Every $1 spent on SNAP adds $1.54 to the economy. As is often the case, doing right is also an overall good.
Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”
