Art- funded by everyone, for the benefit of art lovers.

Art is a massive private industry, there is no need or good from public subsidies of Art.

• Art was thriving well before government started funding it.
• Art had to appeal to people, rather than to Govt. or bureaucrats
• Shakespeare in his day was commercially successful, today the royal Shakespeare company gets 50% of its funding from Government. It doesn't even have to write the plays.
• State crowds out private funding
