Oh and any profit goes directly back to Fed.
And nobody in Fed gov't rides for free. All pay rack prices for all goods and services.

Then you should have been calling your congressman for years now. I get it, you love the Kennedy Center but you've bought into a culture war. And you're a fierce warrior.
But you don't have any facts or details, just emotion. You don't know what tax dollars are going to but you must express an opinion, based on emotion, not actually knowing something. A lot of people are part of your community. It's comforting. But that doesn't make a lack of information and knowledge right. It just means you feel something.
Feeling something is good. But educating yourself is the requisite next step. So you will want to go through the Kennedy Center tax filings and find out what the congressional budget money does pay for. If it pays for maintaining $1.5 million sqft of space and C-suite pay is from ticket sales and donations, admit that and feel good that you have learned something. If congressional money goes to paying C-suite salaries, post that up so we can all condemn Congress for paying Kennedy Center staff so much money.
But please let's just work with facts and leave the culture warrior stuff and emotion aside. It could very well be Congress is paying Rutter $1.3 million for a $6 million profit.
