“I’m a guitarist, and I have a few requests.” Protect my territory. I have two excellent suggestions: return my tax money. I did not give permission for Planned Parenthood to murder infants….I’d like my money returned! I didn’t give any money to some homos*xual eccentric in Ukraine! “I need my money back!”
