For about five years, I belonged to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. They would bring up stories like this quite often. It became more apparent that his group t was more focused on a much smaller government rather than a wiser spending of government money. The "infractions" the group cited were such a small part of government expenditures, yet it gave the impression that such infractions were common place.

I then reasoned that wise individuals and big corporations often make mistakes with managing their money. Why should we expect government to be perfect?

So I quit sending this group my money.

Anyways, I appreciate the satire. When I watched the first impeachment Trump hearings, I saw two groups of people: 1) Those who making more than $100,000 a year, and 2) Those who were interning to get the experience to later make at least $100,000 a year--and could afford to intern because they were staying with a rich relative. The political process is so out of touch with the lives of the common people.

I believe that taxpayers should be allowed to earmark their tax contributions to the government department they think is most relevant.
