If those things are predominantly healthcare, police protection, civil administration and national defense, then yeah, actually it's a pretty good assumption that everyone wants those things. The cultural items you cite are tiny as far as expenses, and presumably the're popular enough to resist periodic efforts to cut their funding. Any quibbles about apportionment and overhead from the government would be dwarfed by the inefficiencies of breaking them out of gov't (see the US healthcare system).
