I know that the amount of money (in the grand scheme) is minor but if you consider 4 million dollars minor.

Internal Revenue Code TITLE 26, Subtitle H, CHAPTER 95 &#167; 9008
Entitlement to payments from the fund 
(1) Major parties 
Subject to the provisions of this section, the national committee of a major party shall be entitled to payments under paragraph (3), with respect to any presidential nominating convention, in amounts which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $4,000,000.

But when so many of us are out of work, I think the parties should fund there conventions without my tax dollars.
