Elite Productions receives $100,000.00 of taxpayer dollars. Does this money then just vanish?

The liberal view is that it is just tax dollars, it is not like someone had to earn it. It is just something that is there in endless supply....

I never said they were rational.

Oh no.

At least $40k wen to the local ACORN-type non-profit and another $15k went to the local DEM party coffers.

It "only" cost $45k to put on the event.

No, of course not. The people at Elite Productions spend it on whatever they want to.

But wasting $100,000 which was earned by the hard work of taxpayers is very damaging to our economy and society as a whole. The only way to make progress in society is for money to be invested in worthwhile activities, and this clearly isn't in that category.

I suspect you are alluding to Keynesian economics where supposedly spending money in any way helps the economy. Unfortunately that theory fails in practice. Spending and investing wisely helps society, wasting money doesn't.
