NEW TAXES ON CULTURE

BY EDUARDO CASTELL, BTO2A
Some months ago, I read in the newspaper that the GOVERNMENT had decided to increase the taxes ON some cultural products, such as the cinema, theatre or any live show. The Minister of Culture said that in that period of time all the economical sectors had to contribute to get out of the economical crisis. From my point of view, this measure is absolutely wrong, like REDUCING BUDGET FOR the education system. If you want to have a developed country, you can't make the accesS to the materials that help improve the education more difficult for people. If I were the Minister of Culture, I would subsidize all the things that contribute to the develOpment of the mentality of people because it is a investment that will return more money in the future.
