How can they pay their bills?

BRATTLEBORO — Re: “Artists! Stop giving away your work!” [Voices, Dec. 7].

Right on, Kate Anderson.

I've been saying this for years, and it's not just about the arts. Other professionals are asked to volunteer their skills on a regular basis.

And, as you say, with so much volunteering going on, how can those who have to make a living pay their bills?

I have nothing against volunteers helping out, but when someone is asked to volunteer to do what they do to make a living, that is a different story.
