The government should not subsidize artists because doing so makes them less creative and forces taxpayers to pay for art they do not like.
The original sentence contains unnecessary repetition. It does not need to include both “funding” and “subsidizing,” as both words refer to the same thing. The phrase “cripples the natural relationship” is also redundant, as that idea is implied by the list of the negative effects government funding will have on both artists and taxpayers.
Reasons for choosing one real estate agent over another include personal service, care, communication, and quality of work.
The revised sentence condenses the two main clauses: the main idea (choosing one real estate agent over another) and the subsequent list. It also pares down the unnecessary repetition. There is no need to explain that communication lines are both set up and kept open, for example.
