    Funded by public money through taxes, now have to be funded directly through donations from the public. While the public still gets taxed. Hmmm.

      The same group that wants small government also has no problem asking you to donate at church and also to Jimmy’s gofundme.

        That’s the point, the people who like church and Jimmy can fund those things. The government church tax exemption means churches make profits and it’s at the expense of everyone, including atheists

        Fuck them asking you to donate at church. They want the tax dollars to go to private schools operated by their churches.

      Duh!

      This is a favorite GOP tactic for decades. Back when the Supreme Court cared about the law, the Right would pass anti-abortion laws that they knew would be struck down. But since they were in power, they could use tax payer money to pay for the cases. Meanwhile, people on the Left had pick and choose where their money went, to a good candidate or to the legal funds?
