see my 60 Disney already owns Sesame and BBC would probably run masterpiece. Why do you want the government to confiscate part of my income to pay for your entertainment?

You said you enjoy some of PBS programming. So why would you feel ripped off?

Using our taxes to support political agendas on NPR and NEA is another matter. I wish that could be done away with while leaving the good stuff intact.

There is already a perception that Conservatives are rubes and philistines when it comes to the arts. What’s the point of validating that perception and creating yet more rancor in an already divided country? For what? Bringing the country together has a higher value in my mind than worrying about government playing a small role in arts program funding. PBS has been a cultural mainstay for a lot of people for a long time. We can leave it alone and still MAGA.
