Your own words seem to make it clear that governments don't need to rob the citizens to subsidize artists....You said it your self
"Art has always been, and will always be, a necessary part of humanity" If that is the case, then Art won't die without the government redistributing wealth....
As a clarification. I dont mean highschool art classes...Im talking about independant artists getting government grants that appear to prop up unwanted "art" that people won't spend their own money on.
School art programs, sports programs etc...have ample money being supplied by taxes outside the NEA and other government give aways. School Systems need to eliminate the fraud and criminal waste...but that is [img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img]
