In the olden days, the Catholic Church supported the arts directly (Sistine Chapel) with money extracted through tithes or religious people supported the arts being told that would get them to heaven.  

Then rich people supported the arts (Mona Lisa) or royalty supported the arts, operas, paintings, the Spanish Riding School, Mozart etc. etc. with money extracted through taxes.

Now, in Oregon, the taxpayers support the arts through the 1% requirements our legislature put into law on expensive roads and buildings.

And PBS has to be  supported by Federal tax dollars when right-wing people spend enough for Fox News people to be worth $40 million dollars (Hannity).  Even the woman Trump picked on has a net worth of $15 million.  

Pay for your own art and news and entertainment.  Leave my tax dollars alone!
