another moron. The false dichotomy is that it's either federal funding of arts or no support in the land at all
-
this is an embarrassing display of lack of critical reading and thinking skills
-
every response so far has been about the same pedantic thing and not the actual point
-
it's like a scene from Idiocracy
-
and every time I explain it the moron who brings it up disappears. No response to my actual point yet from anyone lol

Why does the government need to fund art for it to survive?
-
art makes a culture worth defending. Even the Spartans had art
-
And yet they somehow managed it without government subsidy
-
um, nope. The Spartans taxed the hell out of pretty much everyone.
-
Yes ,they taxed people... but not to pay artists.pic.twitter.com/JqsnE6k0Ok

not how the nea works. Nice try though.
-
The NEA doesn't take taxes from people and hand it to artists?
-
the nea doesn't "take" anything. $$ is allocated in budget to it.

We can't lose the arts OR sciences

yes - citizens, organizations, etc can support what they wish. Not the govt job.
-
how is government not a citizen organization?
-
It's simply not the job of govt. Refer to constitution.
-
Words of wisdom! Fed Gov is meant to protect citizens & allow them to live freely=not make dependent on gov
