...demands play upon a disingenuous theme. The threatened institutions ostensibly serve so crucial a function that citizens must endure IRS fishing expeditions into their pockets to finance them. Harvard has a holy mission to churn out graduate students, the better to enlighten dark corners of the nation; farmers must preserve the virginity of their soil, and the SACB must root out subversives who jeopardize national security--all paid for, to greater or lesser degree, with tax money...
