Again, how much of those tax dollars have gone to following Joe's blog? None! Nothing! Nada! Whether it's orchestrated or stumbled upon Joe's blog just says, " this is a good price for this product" for FREE! It's then your job to decide and research whether it's a good product and a product you want. This is your part of the work. If you're just blindly buying whatever he links then that's on you. Eric Estrada is selling some marsh land you may be interested in for your retirement. I can link you.To complain about a money saving service that is FREE IS entitlement. Did you grow a vapor Joe goatee? Do you have a gold lanyard? Make your own decisions and doing research shouldn't be a problem for someone as accomplished and hard working as you are. Maybe you could of researched that I'm younger than you....
Technically, just opening the browser costs us money unless you are leeching wifi...so in a sense it's not tax dollars being wasted but merely our very own hard-earned income but we don't have to go to a site so technically as well it can't waste our income. In the end, everyone is entitled to express their opinion but honestly, no one individual opinion will ever trump another.
