Is a government really obliged to finance art in this way? I think freedom of expression doesn't mean one's expression should be financed with public money.

Russian governments have long supported the arts, to a degree that Americans cannot imagine. It all goes back to their Communist past.

Sounds exactly life Affirmative Action, Racial Double Standards, Corrupt Court Decisions, and Holder's "Just Us" Department in action.

Government help, without which art cannot function, should be equally spread between all participants.”

Let those who enjoy "art" PAY for the "art" that they enjoy. Something no one wants to pay for is the very definition of useless.
