Question: Why are all taxpayers forced to subsidize Symphonic & Opera music venues that entertain only the rich elites!?
Answers:
Taxpayers are not forced to finance rap music, so why must we subsidize Operatic and Classical music!? I don't like rap music but it is self supporting!. No government entity puts a gun to my head, takes money out of my pocket and gives it to rappers!. Why must I give money to classical music performers!? The audiences who fill Operatic & Classical music halls are the richest most privileged segment of our population!. They can easily afford to support their own form of entertainment!. Why does govt take my tax money to finance their fun!? If you ever go to an opera look around at the crowd!. There will be very few ordinary Joe Sixpacks in the crowd!. Subsidizing the rich is an outrage!. It has got to stop!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am:

- pretty much ensconced in the middle class
- classically trained musician
- and I make a point of buying subscription tickets to our local symphony, ballet and theater!.

This is something I set aside money each year to do!. I don't see the symphony, the opera, ballet and theater as "extras" or "only for rich elites"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

This same question comes up all the time!. I have answered at length - you can search completed questions!. Why do you pay taxes for a police department, if you have never been a victim of crime!? Why pay for a fire department, if your house has never been on fire!? Why pay for school when you have no kids in them!? Because we live in a civilized society, and if we wish to live in safe, educated, and cultured communities, we pay taxes!. Why do *I* have to pay taxes to support concerts in the park for some scuzzy rock band so YOU can hear them!?!?!? Why do we pay taxes so that our government can drop bombs!? Your argument is prejudiced, and not altogether well-informed!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

[1] where did you get your "facts" !.!.!. how much money, where!?

[2] Wow, I'm far from rich and enjoy classical music!.

While I'm enjoying classical music I wonder why my taxes are used to subsidize any number of government sponsored programs that do nothing to enrich the lives of people!.

You're suffering from a delusion: all opera and symphony orchestras are not subsidized by the tax-payers, in this country!. Maybe in Europe, but not here!.

I would be very interested in your posting, where you obtained such non-sense information: care to substantiate your claim

Is this actually true!? I'll confess to not knowing anything about this!.

Only the rich elites!? That's a gross over-generalization!. I am neither rich, nor elite, and I still prefer classical music over pop music!.

I am:
a) Not rich (quite the contrary)!.
b) Not an elitist!.
c) A tax payer!.
