I have to admit, I don't like my taxes going to PBS, NPR, - and especially the NEA.

The fed gov has no business funding any of these.

I have worked phone banks for PBS to raise funds for them. These three groups don't need taxpayer funding. PBS owns multiple TV and radio networks. Why do they need to be subsidized?

Sesame Street alone, rakes in tens of millions of dollars a year in merchandise and licensing. Look up who the people in charge of running Sesame Street are and see what their salaries are. You will be stunned and outraged.
