Ummm, no it's not. It's financed by the proceeds (largely out-of-court settlements) from all the lawsuits Phelps files against people who try to interfere with his "preaching". In part, it's financed by taxpayers, because some of "winnings" have been paid by state and lcoal governments whose law enforcement agencies attempted to intervene in the Phelpsians' activities. In the earlier days, before Phelps went national, one of his sources of income was door-to-door candy sales that he forced his young sons to do -- they were beaten to a pulp if they didn't bring home enough cash.
