This past Friday, hundreds of people turned out in Philadelphia to protest Pennsylvania's new tax on arts institutions. This imposes a 6 percent tax in Pennsylvania, with an even higher percentage in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, on admission prices to performing arts, museums, historical sites, zoos and parks.
