Fuel the growth of America: Support the Arts

I believe the strength of America as a global business leader in lies in our ability to innovate. (Very simply stated) our core value lies in the creation of products, technologies and new markets that the rest of the world help us produce.

Innovation stems from creativity, and creativity is developed in the arts.

Our schools have all but forgotten about the arts.  There are no classes, no teachers and no supplies.  If we don't get our 8 year-olds painting, designing and building, they won't create the next Google.

And we'll be in trouble.

One answer is a project called Preserving America's Cultural Heritage, which proposes a tiny tax on art sales to fund individual artists.  This is one solution, not the solution.  Let's get the ball rolling, turn the tide, and survive.
