So taxpayers should foot the bill for someone to get an expensive degree in women's studies or sports management?

I went almost straight into the workforce instead of going to college so I feel like I should be on your side here. However I don't think I would really mind some of my tax dollars going to people thinking about women in society as I rather like women, or managing sports teams, as I also enjoy watching sports. Is this opinion entirely out of vogue now? What the hell else am I getting out of my sizable federal tax bill?

When you hear the word "taxpayer" brought up in an argument, it's a good hint that what will follow is a screed against providing anyone any assistance from the public purse whatsoever, despite any such benefits the author may have received and conveniently forgotten in their personal "self made man" narrative.
