AIO if I'm sad my brother wishes to defund my employer?

i work for my country's national broadcasting company. my brother told me he thinks we should defund the whole organisation.

i know he didn't mean anything personal by it but i can't help but to feel hurt. i've worked very hard to get to where i am. i don't necessarily get to pick and choose my work projects but i always try to get involved with projects that are meaningful to me. i guess i'm hurt it sounds like my brother thinks my work is essentially a waste of time/taxpayer money. the feeling is amplified by the fact that i struggled with an especially difficult project this past month. should i just let this go?
