So I'm flipping through the channels when I happen upon TPT2, which is our local public television station and of course, Mister Rogers Neighborhood is on. I SHIT YOU NOT, Handyman was telling the little cat puppet about TAXATION. He hands him a picture book about how the taxes that are collected go to take care of things in the land of Make-Believe.
I ABOUT SHIT A GODDAMNED BRICK. Fred Rogers was a fucking traitor, as he was all about brainwashing children if he did a show dedicated to TAXATION.
What the sonofabitch should have done was a show about TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. THEN I wouldn't have such a fucking sour memory of him. I recommend everyone look for this episode on Youtube, or something and post it. Watch the thing, The part that I caught was flagrant brainwashing to get your little proletariat members to go with the program.
I realize that some taxes are good, and necessary in order to take care of the local stuff, but Fred never covered largesse, theft, graft and corruption as that would have been at least intellectually honest.
This is the last betrayal I am going to tolerate. The Cable Box is going back today. There isn't a chance in hell that I'm going to welcome the public tv programming into my house.
