I think eating meat is irrelevant in todays society and my tax dollars subsidises them too. I can not always pick and choose where my money is being spent. The other area I can think of right off the top is in the military industrial complex. I don't like that my $ goes there either. Oh well! The $ spent on this museum is a drop in the bucket compared to what we spend on wars.
If federal money were spent more on arts and education imagine how much greater this country could be than what it is now.
There is all kinds of $ being spent through federal subsidies. Some good some bad. The way of the world.
