I don't think so. Who gets to decide the subject matter? Who gets to decide what is classic and what is not? Who gets to decide what is culture? Who gets to decide what is ART? As my brother Horsch Poleczech once said, "Culture is something that grows in a lab, and Art is the guy who grows it." I think Horsch heard it from Henny Youngman. If we can vote a tax-paid salary for a tubby cello player in a tux, why not for a bellied C/W fiddle player in jeans and Stetson? If a municipal symphony orchestra leader can get tax money for waving his baton at a(n) euphonic group of eighty or ninety, then why not bank roll the traveling Andre Rieu (or is it Reiu) whose apollo-like face and gracious mane floods our *You Tube* click-links? If a lithe gal in a tu-tu gets taxpayer support, why not one is a G-string and tassles? Is bump and grind any less ergonomic than leap and glide? Same kinetic energy. We have seen this kind of open-ended selectiveness with snowboarding in the Olympics, etc etc, and it seems to work, eh? So, let's go for it. Get my point yet? I jest, of course. When we start using the clamorous, socialist logic of moderates to mandate how citizens must (must) support certain selective undertakings, it is always those doing the clamouring who decide the ground rules: then we begin to snowboard down that slippery slope and end up tripping over our tassles and G-strings. Next think you know they will be telling us we have to bail out the auto and mortgage industry. Or we must fund the ACLU. Where will it end? I would have addressed the other issues, but I don't know anything about politics. "I just know what I like." -- George Support the Arts with taxes? I don’t think so.
