"John Harrington" wrote in message ... What bull****. The government doesn't "take" hard earned money, or easily earned money, from anyone. This is the moat clueless statement in this thread yet. Don't look now, but yours is the beam clueless statement. If this clumsily loaded question boils down to: do I believe tax monies should be devoted, in part, to preserving and encouraging high culture. The answer is: you bet I do. Some brain dead person claimed earlier in this thread that we just had to have taxpayer-supported government radio, or else how would people "learn" about classical music? You know what? The other day I went out and *purchased* a 10-CD classical collection, and now I am learning about classical music. And I am doing it without government subsidy and no burdon on taxpayers. Um, probably not, in fact. If that CD collection has orchestral music on it, the probability is high you're listening to music funded in whole or part by some "evul gubmint" somewhere in the world. In fact, chances are good that if that 10 CD collection was bought at budget prices, you're listening to orchestras that were founded by communist governments (e.g., former eastern bloc nations).
