At about the same topic. I heard on the radio piece of reportage that the Japanese boom in the art market (when the Gavrik warmed Impressionists, tens of millions of Portrait of Doctor Gachet, sunflowers, etc.) in the late 1980's was due not only love for art, and even some a loophole in their law, which allows to reduce taxes. Amerikosy many bought at about the same purpose. For example, assume, conventionally, as yet unknown, but talanltivogo "Pollock" to 5 thousand dollars, waiting for it rose to 500 thousand, pass this work to the museum to reflect the new market price and receive a substantial tax deduction. For accuracy of the scheme can not vouch, but about the direction is. So all withered in the market enough, that does not mean that the love of art is thoroughly permeated by money

Again, go into îôôòîï. Capitalism - the religion of young, healthy, smart and childless singles. When one link fails, then immediately see all of his grimace (the same grin). Socialism (not to be confused with communism) - absolutely correct thing. Sure, there is - in many respects the New Testament. Just the word itself strongly diskriditirovano individual performers. Against the Swedish socialism there is no objection?

Right. But literally "from the top (bottom).
Here: play on words, "at the bottom", ie not at the top.
Never mind, as a joke.
