No, They do not have profits in excess of $140 per year. And No they are not 1%ers

Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), is a Worldwide American non-profit organization behind the production of several educational children's programs that have run on public broadcasting around the world (including PBS in the United States).

Although Sesame Workshop is occasionally confused with PBS,[citation needed] Sesame Workshop is an entirely separate and independent organization. Some Workshop programs are broadcast on PBS, and although PBS provides some funding for those programs, the money received covers only a fraction of production costs. Other financial support comes from individual donors, charitable foundations, corporations, government agencies, program sales and licensed products. Sesame Workshop grants licenses to various manufacturers who create toys, apparel and other products featuring Sesame Street characters, and Sesame Workshop receives a portion of the proceeds.

On March 12, 2009, Sesame Workshop announced that it had planned to cut 20% of its workforce due to the recession.

Sesame Street earns $140 million a year, but somehow they get 10% of that from the American taxpayer when they could easily make it and make it quite well, on their own.
Those folks are all 1%ers, aren't they?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

early to mid seventies, definitely some psychidelic influences then at the CTW.
