Correct. You've totally got it.
 
WHY? This action is VOLUNTARY on my part. I can elect to, or NOT to  purchase 
that company's goods or services.
 
If fact, I am MORE apt to patronize a company that does good things within  
the community, especially arts.
 
Thanks for the clarity!
Bill

So I take it that while you object to paying  taxes to support the
arts, you have no problem paying more for goods and  services so
that the company that provides them can support the  arts?
