Hear, Hear!!! Time to vote. Who is in favor of un-funding all federal art
subsidies?? It sure gets my vote. I prefer starving artists who have to work
a little bit at their trade and thus, create much better art.
If private individuals wish to contribute to artists I have no complaint but
when taxpayers are forced to pay for art and artists that may be
undeserving then it is time to stop the liberal, beauracratic money train
before it can leave the (metro)station.
