Tax Money To Support The Arts?

Been having a debate with a photo/art friend who does not believe any tax money should ever be spent in support of the arts, I disagree with him. The point I made when he said that only essential things should be covered with tax dollars, nothing else, was this:

"art is essential...there should be more to life than living day to day, just surviving......art is the expression of our deepest humanity...it enlivens our hearts, expands our minds and enriches our souls"
