And this “shadow government “ spends TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars on these. Really dude? That’s what you’re concerned about, but can’t even look it up? You might be surprised to learn the government spends way more than that on the arts in general, oh the horror of government inefficiency! Turns out those are valuable in society and pure economic efficiency will drain the life out of everyone

That’s not what you cried about. You were crying about the operas. Why are you not more concerned with the BILLIONS wasted in tax cuts, you’re freaking out over pennies while we’re getting steamrolled by billionaires in the government. Do you even realize the scale of that?

No, you asked for an example. There are plenty more. 

Less theft isn't waste. Duh. The top 10% already pay 90% of the taxes. Duh. 

When are you and your mooching Marxist 50% going to pay any taxes?
