Nobody said he was spending all of the money on art.  I dind't see that in the 
article, and I don't think you were implying this either.

 "Give me your tired, your poor, 
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, 
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

No como el gigante bronceado de fama griega
con sus extremedades conquistantes sobre dos tierras;
aqu� a nuestros portales ocasales, lavados por la mar se hallar�
una mujer poderosa con una antorcha, cuyo fuego
es el rel�mpago encarcelado, y su nombre
la Madre de los Exhiliados.  Desde la almenara de su mano
brilla la bienvenida mundial, y sus ojos simp�ticos mandan
al puerto que ciudades gemelas enmarcan, con su gran puente de aire,
--�Guarden, o tierras ancianas, su pompa celebrada!-- grita ella
con labios silenciosos.  --D�nme los agobiados, los pobres,
la masa api�ada anhelando la libertad,
los arrastrados rechazados de sus orrillas abundantes.
�M�ndenme �stes, los sin casa, los arrojados por la tempestad aqu�;
Hac�a la puerta dorada levanto mi antorcha, que siempre brille ah�!--

-Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus
