If you live in or around Charlotte and you're generous with your money, you're likely going to be hit up for a donation to the "Arts and Science Council," or ASC. They've set new goals for this year's fund-raising drive to not only raise $11 million, but also to obtain 5,000 new donors.

What's missing in the news releases and press releases from the organization is how much everyone in Charlotte is already FORCED to give them. There's no word in these press releases about how much they plan to extort from the various government agencies. They normally get hundreds of millions from the taxpayers already, but now what do they want? Like every other socialist organization, MORE.

If they ask me for money, they will get it -- but not because I'm willing to fund them, but because if I don't fund them, they will put me in jail. Oh, maybe not member of the ASC themselves, but their agents, the government, absolutely will throw me in jail if I refuse to fund them. That's how socialist governments work. And that's how it works in the city of Charlotte.

For those who are considering additional voluntary contributions, why bother? If you think your $10, or even $100 will make any difference, consider that the city is already giving them hundreds of millions. Your contribution will be 0.0000005%. No, there is no point. And if they don't raise enough through voluntary contributions, they'll just make up the difference from involuntary contributions, anyway.

The Charlotte Arts and Science Council: forcing you to fund anything they consider art, whether you like it or not.
