Governmental support for creative artists - an attempt to write a IELTS essay (2 of 2)

(continued)

Another valid point is that governments are rather prone to support only these those who support them. Whilst looking for examples of "struggling artists" I've remembered/noted several who were struggling exactly precisely because the government didn't like their works - Mikhail Bulgakov was blacklisted, E.T.A. Hoffmann published a book which offended the king took personally, Josef Brodsky was convicted for not having a stable work, and so on. Of course they wouldn't have gotten get any money from the state, . Sso this support would have been rather selective and unfairly granted which again, would negates the whole entire point. 
Both views have merits; I hope I've shown them fairly and objectively. So when it comes to As for my own opinion, I'm all for supporting everyone who's struggling, regardless of their profession or political standing. That's a prudent goal for a government, and non-governmental art support programs will take care of the truly gifted.
