Big Bird Perspective

A good question for President Obama at the upcoming town hall debate would be... Mr. Obama, you have criticized the "greed" of the 1% of American taxpayers who make more than $250,000 and claimed that you are doing so to help the middle-class.   Why do you think middle-class taxpayers should be taxed to subsidize Sesame Workshop, the corporation that makes Sesame Street, which had $136 million in operating revenue last year and has assets of $227 million, and which pays its CEO $988,000 per year?
