Fingerpaint your taxes in Mexico?

Things in Mexico have been very interesting lately, from swine flu to drug gangs, but this is just weird.  Apparently, in lieu of paying taxes, Mexican artists can donate a piece of original art to the government. The policy has been around since 1957 and as a result, the country has a “modern art collection that would make most museum curators swoon.” Just like when paying regular taxes, the more you make, the more you owe. For example, artists who produce more that 21 paintings a year must give the government six, selling five pieces means you owe the government just one. [Arizona Republic]
