Just say what you posted out loud and ask yourself if this is sane or reasonable governance. How is this advancing the lives and businesses of the American people?
The purpose of government is to "help form a more perfect union", and to assist the people in the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nowhere in the Constitution are pipers needing to be paid, and using the government to do it.
In fact, the first amendment guarantees that the government can't attack people for their political beliefs.
