I wasn't really trying to make a point or to change people's minds. To me it sounded a bit weird. I just wanted to know why a lot of people were in favour of those subsidies.
And as far as a quick google search can tell me, writers (of books) don't get any taxbreaks (when writing is their main income that is). In Holland anyway. But the more I read, the more I get the feeling that asking for (and getting) subsidy (from government) is not uncommon for a writer (or publisher).
Just thinking aloud and trying to get a well-formed opinion <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
