Why are artists and intellectuals generally liberal?... From Dickens, Doestevesky, satre,Shakespeare, Orwell, Picasso, Kandinsky, Lennon, Marley and on and on... Can anyone name a great artist (Besides Ted Nugent and Motley Crue) who are Right 'wingers'??

People that want to make a change, must think. Thus, most liberals are thinkers. It doesn't take much thougth to keep thing the way they are.

They've never had to work for a living at a real job...only to have a third of their pay taken to fund an un-wed mother's crack addiction.
Artists think they provide a necessary service to society even if nobody wants to buy it. So they think everyone should pay because they think they provide a necessary service to society...but nobody wants to buy it.
Taxpayer: "Yes, your art is nice but I don't really want it."
Starving Artist (Liberal): "Then we will tax you for it because you should want it."
Suggesting that art should be government funded is IMHO a huge waste of money. If people want to pay for your art, then it will support your profession.
I'm sure as hell not getting a government check for writing code.

Yeah, artists and liberals do seem to go hand in hand, but not necessarily intellectuals and liberals IMHO.
So what you are saying is fellow artists migth reject me if I wear my "Give War a Chance" shirt at the next art walk around the galleries? [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
I wonder how many would join my club, "Artists for War"?
It is fricken funny because my defense attorneys I used were all black suit types and the plaintiff attorneys tend to wear flashy type suits. Clearly on average the plaintiff attorneys worth their salt make serious bank. I hate to admit it but if I was to choose the attorney route I would end up on the dark side. Doesn't pay to be honest and good.

Oh please. I'm willing to bet that I put in more hours than most of the people on this board. Stop with the bullshit.
I've always thought that they felt guilty about how they earned their money and consequently, they were not opposed to giving it up. And BTW Mak, with all due respect, I don't think you spend 3 months per year making 30 million dollars and the other 9 months trying to figure out what to do with it.
