I stand for eight to ten hours on concrete floors, unloading trucks, stocking shelves, running a cash register and doing a hundred other mind numbing tasks.

And what the heck did you do to prevent yourself from winding up in this obvious craphole job?

So, he should have planned to have a cushier job for the government to take even more money to fund the NEA, etc.? That would make it all better?

It is art that brings beauty to this drab life.

And beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I think that a delicious pizza is a work of art and as such, I savor it's consumption as much as some people enjoy gazing at a Van Gogh.

Wow. I was going to be a wise guy and post something to the effect of: "Well, get some training and get a better job, start your own business, etc. You loser!" Someone beat me to it, only it appears you're serious.

It disturbs me that many think that we should live to work, not work to live.

You do understand that this is not about his job or your job or my job don't you? It is about the fact that the federal government is not empowered to spend the public treasury's funds on unconstitutional subsidies.

As the article observed, If a good or service has a value, people will buy it.
