Did you know the chief executive of Minnesota Public Radio makes $500,000 a year?! Would you say this man, William Kling, is a liberal or a reactionary?

I’d say he knew how to make a buck. Clever fellow.
Nonprofit corporation: An enterprise in which the management does not need to share to proceeds with any pesky shareholders.
I’d say I want my taxes back.
I hate the fact that even a fraction of a cent of what I pay in taxes goes towards this fat cat without my having any say whatsoever.
Kling is definitely a liberal, but an entreprenuerial one.
MPR founded PRI – “Public Radio International” – which syndicates, exports and imports a lot of programming, and was intended to compete with NPR. It’s been hugely successful.
Since the late 80s, MPR has been a successful model other state’s PR networks aspire to emulate.
I see no reason for the continued existence of public radio. We have so many other options today. Dinosaurs should be allowed to die out. Did God say that NPR must forevermore remain on the American scene? I donít think so.
Confiscatory taxation becomes a far more appealing idea when you hear stories like this.
I’d say this makes Kling very much like Jerry Rubin; doing well by doing “good”.
