You've just got to admire the leftist "economy:" Burns makes a movie (or book) through government funded (read tax dollars paid for by us) PBS, then makes millions or more, selling his products, "advertising" them on.....again, government funded (again, our tax dollars, usually during their "fund raising" periods, tax-free) PBS!

I don't disagree that Burns is talented but in his heart of hearts, he would make Karl Marx proud to call him his progeny!

Use our unwilling taxed dollars to "create your product" then charge you and me (again, against our government enforced "tax contributions") to earn his millions, again, tax free, because his wealth is considered "tax-free?"

I saw the title of this Forbes article and assumed it would say how Ken Burns became a millionaire, but it does not appear that he has become personally fabulously wealthy from his filmmaking.

MAGA = Restore our Free Constitutional Republic

That would include nuking many unconstitutional federal depts and agencies including the FCC and PBS.
