Wirt,

At first glance, that was a funny comment.  But you are neglecting the size of Mr. Leno's market.

I would venture to say that a significantly higher portion of my salary/taxes goes to pay for my neighbor's kids schools, than to the advertiser's on the Tonight Show.  Plus those taxes are stolen, without my consent... we homeschool.

I just choose not to watch The Tonight Show, so I don't even waste my time on the advertisers.
