The military has more than 130 bands with more than 6000 musicians, costing about a half-billion dollars a year. Meanwhile the National Endowment for the Arts gets $155M, a paltry amount compared to other advanced democracies. Arts & artists should be robustly funded & supported!

It’s called supply and demand. Ticket sales are either there or not. No subsidies should be allowed for the arts or anything for that matter!

The arts are scientifically proven to promote well being, foster critical thinking & problem solving. The arts are what have advanced civilization. Steve Jobs studied calligraphy-this study was his impetus to develop the first version of a computer that could type various fonts.

No mam. Artists choose the profession. How about mechanics and welders? I say shut it all down. We need a government so small we don’t know it exists.

Great suggestion for artists to join the military
Replying to @marwilliamson
We need more military bands. They’re underfunded as it is.

Focus on what matters, 22 million illegals in America, cost US tax payers $130 billion annually. Socialist liberals see it as the cost to buy the donkey party illegal voters.
