ESPN hacked C-Span??

[SoCalDem]

I got so annoyed listening to McBoring, so I tuned into C-span..and what are they doing??

Not legislative stuff.. Just a complete run-down of The Fresno State Baseball team's magnificent win in some baseball tournament..

whooooooopie..

Must be nice to know that they have all their "work" done..ansd can waste time & tax money to blah-blah-blah on and on about some college basecall players..

Nice to see their priorities are in order.

1. C-Span does not get tax money.

It's funded by "America's cable companies" as a public service.

3. The congress people get paid with my tax money

:grr: and apparently they spend a lot of time going to college baseball games :(

9. Ah, sorry. My bad.

I didn't understand your OP.

6. That is the weirdest definition of taxes I ever heard

If the money comes from cable companies (actually those of us who get cable pay for it) under compulsion (pay or lose your license or go to jail) then it is a tax. Some taxes are user fees (toll roads) but user fees are a sub-set of taxes.

10. Shouldn't taxes at least get into the government's hands at some point?

11. My friend you are right

I stand corrected.

Look, everyone: boloboffin is right and I was wrong.

I humbly apologize.

Anything to get the public to turn off the Span before DK speaks.
