Part of my analysis is based on allowing as large a compatibility with our current economic models as possible. It would be classic reformist reasoning: in absence of signs of the revolution, as a legislator I hope to encourage incremental changes in our economic environment (which is rather based on business models) that encourage the exploration of new revenue streams for culture. If there is a way to make a culture financing regime independent of state control, it should be explored - I'm a great believer in decentralisation. Nevertheless, the state should take a considerably stronger position in enforcing competition in all possible sense of the word. Sadly, the traditional anti-trust rationale of competition law makes it far too easy to overlook what freedom we are actually looking for in our markets (which are actually a great many more than than the ones market actors with shares of more than 90% could potentially remove from us, ref.: the net neutrality debate).

I'm not adverse to the cultural financiation currently provided for by the state, and would not like to see it discontinued. I do however see tendencies of cultural funding from governments and also the European union being cut down, and my experience this far is that many of the other cultural projects of a large scale that I see are funded by one or two very large, global and private foundations. Again, the centralisation of these funding sources worry me. Realizing a regulatory environment where alternatives can crop up easily, swiftly and at low cost for all involved cannot be a bad idea.

I find taxation in general is quite planned: we plan to take some money from somewhere to redistribute it somewhere else. Do you have another term to describe that process?
