Nothing like gajillionaires Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey demanding the working class fund their pet projects. How is this different than if the dreaded Koch Bros. asked the government to subsidize polo lessons? Well, what’s different is that the media would rightfully laugh the Koch Bros. off the stage even as they take Spacey’s nonsense seriously: The Academy Award-winning actor made his remarks Monday at the 24th annual Nancy Hanks Lecture on Arts and Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Spacey delivered the speech to a coalition of organizations who are in the to the nation’s capitol this week to participate in Arts Advocacy Day. He related his own story of growing up as a child from South Orange, New Jersey, from a modest background with a lack of self-confidence. He got a major boost at age 13 when he was asked to perform a scene in a play and actor Jack Lemmon praised his performance and encouraged young Spacey to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. “I would never had had that experience If I had not grown up at a time when there was enormous support for the arts in the United States,” Spacey said. We fund the arts, we fund abortions, we fund NPR and PBS, we fund public unions that work against our own interests… Is it 2012 yet?
Kevin Spacey credited federally funded arts programs for his successful career and called for the federal government to continue its support for public arts programs.

Yea, like those first responder union members on 9/11. Bunch of freeloaders. So you don't want school kids exposed to the arts because why?

The dwarf said THAT? Naw, I don't believe it. He's obviously a nutcase, but nope, I don't believe he posted that.
