Well we could ask the same question when Notre dame de Paris burned, how many millions went to rebuild it?

I respect the arts and the building is an important part of French history which is important.

I would however say that it is interesting that we cannot raise money for charities but if an art building burn oh well... Let the millions pour in....

So while I am sure the expense per person is more. Expense for rich murders vs poor murders is probably the opposite simply because of the difference in quantity.

Maybe it's a good reason to reduce public spending in general. People act like public spending is a way to even things out, but in practice as the post evidences, the more we tax and the more the government spends the more wealth has actually been concentrated.
