I hate the whores of the NFL almost as much as I hate Congress but if the people are willing to tax themselves for the benefit of a billionaire, let them do it.

Never, ever shelter anyone from the realities of their decisions

The people are not willing to tax themselves to build stadiums, and when it’s put to a referendum, they usually vote against it, which is why it rarely is put to referendum. They are, however, perfectly willing to tax someone else.

The problem is that the billionaires can buy off the politicians who then subsidize them.

I would like to see public subsidies of sports teams allowed—however since the public officials who approved it were probably corrupt the city mayor and state governor of each location should automatically serve a five year jail term in exchange.

Then we will see how interested they are in spending the public’s money.
