2. Echoes what I've been saying for YEARS..

... NPR is NOT LIBERAL but labelled as such and the pittance they receive from the Feds is not REMOTELY worth the blatant bias they produce trying to please them.

I hope their funding gets cut. Not only that, I hope that they start getting their funding from LISTENERS and not corporations. I will GLADLY contribute healthily once they stop PANDERING to the right wing asshole idiots and tell it like it is.

3. Do we only get to pay taxes the programs we like? Is that the way it works?

Sweet! I'll take my defense department taxes back now.

Cha-ching!

5. Exactly. fuck all that noise. I'm sick of someone saying we can't have something simply b/c

they don't use it. Next, it will be public schools and they've got a pretty good start on that now.

I really wish we had boxes on our tax returns that we could check off for where we want our money spent.
