Government wastes taxes on NBA ads

Posted March 12, 2008 11:00 pm

It's the time of year to start assembling the paperwork, filling out the federal and state income tax forms and writing out those checks.

I was thinking about this today and I just happened to notice on TV that the government has found another productive way of spending our hard earned tax dollars.

I see that the Marines are now sponsoring the television commercials for the NBA games. It's nice to see our tax dollars at work!

I'm sure the NBA needs those tax dollars and their poor players need that income. It sure makes me feel proud to be an American.

Why waste our tax dollars on our service men when we can support the NBA?

Let's hurry and get those taxes done. We have only two months to go, and the government needs that money for important things.
