My point was that the money all comes from the same pot. Taxes for the arts and taxes for corporations both come from the over taxed middle. Lots of money poorly spent. And more and more of it is helping the rich get richer at the expense of the average worker. Musicians are more the average worker type. Baseball players are not.
