If using a play that has raked in $100 of millions is not the best argument for forcing taxpayers to subsidize the arts, nothing is! #Caring https://t.co/oEReF6VXYu

Oh, the humanity! Add the L.A. Times to the list of media outlets flipping their lids over Trump’s budget, which could result in funding cuts to, among other things, the National Endowment for the Arts:

What? No “Hamilton”?! Well, that’s it, then:

Hey, it’s really the only sensible option.
Defund it completely https://t.co/npBNykPDdZ

Well that made it even easier, defund it.

Seriously, though. If “Hamilton” is the best reason the L.A. Times can come up with to keep government money flowing to the NEA, then they’ve got nothin’.
Not exactly persuasive.

You mean rich progressive liberal democrats would have to bear the financial responsibility to entertain themselves? ??????

A play that is so expensive most Americans can't afford a SINGLE TICKET. But do go on about taxpayer funding. https://t.co/7moqnPiXcL

Oh, you want to subsidize musicals that only rich people can afford the tickets to? Let them fund their own amusements. @latimes

give government money to arts that make a ton of money already, isn't this the rich getting richer?
— Loren (@LorenSethC) March 16, 2017
D’oh.
Are you trying to convince me it's a good idea to get rid of the NEA?
— Red Elephant Army (@RedElephantArmy) March 16, 2017
That time the @latimes accidentally argued to completely abolish the NEA and was successful in their argument :https://t.co/IPaKsiSvrK
