    I just couldn't pass up a comment on this--so you are saying its all
    right for artists to not to pay taxes because they are struggling? 
    So the guy working at the convenience store is less deserving of
    support than you because you are an "artist"?  And tax evasion is
    morally OK because the country doesn't support "the arts?"  Tell me,
    why should my or anyone else's taxes  go to support you or any other
    artist?  I assume you do it because you enjoy it--so this gives you a
    privilege to take the earnings of others?  So who decides who is an
    artist and what is art and therefore who is deserving of support? 
    Are you an artist just because you say so?  And therefore deserving
    of tax dollars?  If that is the case, then taxpayers should decide
    what art and artists should be supported by their tax dollars.  Be
    careful what you wish for.  If you create for the joy of it, be
    content with that.  If others agree that you are an artist and are
    willing to buy your art, be doubly happy and pay your taxes like the
    rest of us.
