I can't recall ever asking some ego laden narcissistic to push themsleves to their physical limit on my behalf nor do I have any recollection whatsoever offering my tax dollars for them to do so.
If anyone desires to mount a winners podium then do it with your own resources. I'd rather see my contribution go towards some needy & deserving citizens, not some egoist.
