says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.
You've never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don't hang art on your walls and you never went to school?
You've been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.

a fair point, but mostly solved by unions.
