I have to go into the city to protest the state’s proposed 8% arts tax. This is a tax on ticket sales that, weirdly enough, leaves things like “sporting events” exempted. It’s basically just theaters and museums. I don’t know what genius thought it would be a good idea to tax ONLY the institutions that must, by law, not have any profits…but I mean to make him aware of my displeasure.
Holland may or may not hold down the fort today. I…kind of didn’t tell him I wouldn’t be around. Until now! This very moment! Good luck, Holland!
UPDATE: Where the hell are those Tea Party guys when we’re protesting an ACTUAL tax?

Good luck! Send a pack of mimes on them. No violence…just a slow and steady madness, delivered by way of art.
This is pretty absurd, by the way—they do realize arts programs are now suffering more than any others; are they trying to kill them-off completely? And raiding the buckets of non-profits is probably not the best way to keep the “peasants” from revolting. The Arts have kept people sane during depressions and wars.
