How can a person be opposed to public funding of
art. What other than the military should be publicly funded?
Please read my earlier comments. There are only
four obligations imposed on the Federal
government: to provide for a common currency, a
common foreign policy, a common defense, and to
protect indidividual civil liberties. All else
is so much gush and persiflage. The Federal
government HAS to provide for a Foreign Service
and a military and the like. There is no
provision in the US Constitution permitting them to fund arts in any way.
State funding is another matter entirely, and
those interested may take it up with their State
representatives. My Congressmen and both of my
US Senators know how I feel, as does my State
Delegate and State Senator (the Federal
Representative and the two State representatives
agree with me that government funding of the arts
at any level is just wrong, wrong, wrong.)
