    There are no secret donations. We the taxpayer are paying for this. We should all start picking and choosing which parts of the budget we will pay taxes for. I know everyone always scoffs at people suggesting going exempt on federal taxes which if it were only outliers would be a very bad idea. But if millions did it… Putting the money aside and promising to pay once the Nazis have been eradicated from the fabric of America. Starve the fucking beast.
