Is C-SPAN paid for by our TAX dollars?

If so then they had better cover both sides of this protest!

C-SPAN doesn't receive one cent of tax revenue. It is a private, nonprofit corporation that has no connection to the Federal Government. You do pay for it, though; they get their money the same way all other cable channels do: Charging the cable and satellite companies per-subscriber.

No, it's funded by the cable TV industry as a public service.
