.....they simply squander your tax receipts.
1. Once upon a time moms could stay home and help raise children, instill civility and that sort of thing.
Do you know the single greatest bar to one-income family life?
Taxes.
I bet you pay some 50% of your earned income to government at all levels, federal, state, sales, fees, fines, charges of one sort or another.
No more one-income family.
2. One host, on WMAL, Washington, complains about 'National Panhandler Radio, NPR' getting taxpayer funds, and their stations gets nothing.
He's correct;
"In the end, then, local NPR affiliates derive something like 41% of their funding from taxes, either directly or indirectly.
As annoying as I find the bias at MSNBC or the New York Times, I will respect to the end their right to be as biased as they'd like. What they do with their money and whatever funds they can convince advertisers to kick in is their own business. The same does not apply to the likes of NPR. That's your money and my money going into their coffers and funding that unbalanced message. We need to demand that NPR either be pushed away from the public trough or be required to present a modicum of evenhandedness."
How Public Is NPR's Funding?

4. How careful is NPR with your tax 'donations'???
They have a 'resident poet.'

5. How much federal funding does Limbaugh get?
Another questionable source from PoliticalCreep:
American Thinker - Bias and Credibility
QUESTIONABLE SOURCE A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or nomediabiasfactcheck.com
- Overall, we rate the American Thinker, Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/pseudoscience, use of poor sources and several failed fact checks.
You "once upon" a time is a fucking fairy tale, Creep. The ONLY mothers who could stay at home with their children, were the mothers of middle and upper class children. Mothers of the poor always had to work.

So once we've shown that your entire argument is based on a false premise using Questionable Sources, can we relegate yet another PoliticalCreep piece of shit discussion to the Rubber Room?
Another dissembling Liberal who can't face the topic that brought it here.
You can run, but you can't hide.

1. What's the reason NPR deserves taxpayer funding?
2. Where, in article 1, section 8, does the Constitution authorize same?
3. Why are you so parsimonious as to reach into my pocket to pay it, rather than your own?
That's not the issue you raised. You said women can't afford to stay home any more because of Democratic fiscal policies, and I called you on the lie. I posted links and evidence from VALID sources. You haven't responded to what I posted at all, unless you consider deflecting to NPR and insults a response.
Having your argument destroyed you come back with some bullshit argument about NPR funding. Women's can't afford to stay at home because of NPR funding? What a stupid premise, but then again, you've always been short on both facts and logic.
Then you ask what has to be one of the dumbest questions you've ever asked, and that is saying something indeed: You asked what is the value of taxpayers funding NPR? Are your critical thinking skills so lacking that cannot see the idiocy of questioning why one of the largest nations on earth might have need of a publically owned radio network, which provides news, information and programming not dependent on the whims of sponsorship or the politics of the owners?
I can certainly see why those who favour crooks and liars in the White House would oppose the NPR. Trump is desperate to eliminate any media which continues to tell the truth to the American people, but simply logic,n reason and common sense, would tell you why every nation on earth has their own version of both public radio and public television, both democracies and autocracies.
The right complains endlessly about the mainstream media, because the MSN refuses to buy into the lies and conspiracy theories the Republican Party has been pushing since Clinton was elected, and which the Billionaire Media busily repeats, reinforces and amplifies. The Murdochs, Koch Brothers, Sinclairs, and Mercers are busy promoting the racial divisions, and conspiracy theories because Republicans have no record they can run on.
As we're sitting amidst the 3rd major economic crisis in the past 40 years, it would seem that only an idiot would be criticizing the Democrats handling of the economy, with both of the Democratic Presidents during the same time frame having restored and rebuilt the economy after a Republican President's policies crashed it, but you're that special idiot.
Everything I've ever said about economics is playing out here right before your very eyes and still you're blaming Democrats for this mess. Are you that stupid? Either you are, or you think we that people can't look around and see 40 million unemployed - again. The nation in flames as once again, police are killing unarmed black people - hunting them down and murdering them in broad daylight while people say "You're killing him", while white people are storming state houses with long guns intimidating those who refuse to do their bidding, and no tear gas, no rubber bullets for them.
You have to be dumber than a sack of rocks to come around here with your right wing bullshit and warn of the dangers of a Democratic government at this point, bimbo.
Now.....focus like a laser: NPR is nothing more than another house organ for the Democrat/Liberal/Leftists.
They are paid to shill for the Bolsheviks, no different from Izvestia or Pravda.
And their source of income is the same as those was......
You can run, but you can't hide.
