Hope you all get what you want! Or at least what you need!
Some self-deprecating humor from the folks at Reason.com:

There’s no such thing as ... Sanders ... hahahaha!

I love this bit: "Oh great, charity! Where you get to decide, where your money goes."
And here's a real life swamp dweller who doesn't like the idea of citizens telling the government how to spend their (the citizen's) money:
In fact, numerous government agencies accept matching gifts from private donors, including the National Endowment for the Humanities. But the idea is to double the impact of government-led initiatives through those contributions, not to invite donors to dictate the initiatives themselves. As U.S. Representative Bob Goodlatte, a Republican from Virginia and the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, told the New York Post yesterday, “Obviously, we can’t let citizens raise money and say, ‘The government will spend my money on this purpose.’ ”

^^^^This just reinforces that government has become too big for itself. It is a Republican saying this also. Government needs to fear the initiative of The People, not the other way around.
Big suprise. Bob Goodlatte is originally from Massachusetts. Frigin commies.
