Thoughts: Art, taxes

Fair warning: this is a conversation that popped into my head this morning. It this one is going to be rough.

At first I thought of the New Yorker cover with Obama and his wife that caused a stir a few months ago.

Then I thought of another cover: McCain giving Jesus a rusty trombone. What might xians think?

- that's revolting.
- it's art, like a crucifix in a jar of urine.
- i'm not paying my taxes for that.
- and i'm not paying my taxes for schools because i have no kids, nor do I support a level of taxation that is sufficient to provide tax breaks for religious organization.
- that's different, they do good for the community.
- and art is for culture and society, a concept lost of ignorant bastards such as yourself. I'll take a real jar of urine over your make-believe piss any day.
