Why defunding NPR is a good ideal

Why defunding  N.P.R(National Public Radio)is a good ideal ! First and foremost there is noting Public about it except the tax dollars we pour into it . NPR itself claims only 1 to 4% of it funding comes out of the tax payer pocket .So I don't see why we are  putting money into it . We don't need it , we can live with out it ! Its not like it medicare millions of people need that ! I think its a cut in government spending that one and all of us could and should afford , so join me in calling your congress person and let them know you would very much like this done
