I am feeling reckless.
Outside of the fact that I often get blamed for going off in tangents, look back and you will find this:

Is NASCAR art?
I think the problem is that conservatives don't want tax dollars used to "support the arts", because generally "the arts" involve something conservatives don't like or things that don't actually need a government subsidy. But, as a conservative, I use my dollars to support what I like all the time.
So, what if snooty (Northeastern) liberals were being asked to support NASCAR with their tax dollars, what would their response be?

My response is tax dollars should not support NASCAR in any way including subsidies for tracks. Again, I ask what is the liberal response? Why respond one way for one form of "art", and another for a different form of "art"? My initial questions were pretty simple, and were not answered for some reason. Why?
