Sorry, you're dodging. Most professional musicians (and other artists) are far from wealthy. Should they have to pay high taxes as well, for "fairness"?

- Turing_Machine 3y agoMaybe instead we could, e.g., force streaming services to play an equal number of songs from every musician (or imagined musician), regardless of talent. Want to listen to Bach? Okay, but you have to listen to five hundred songs from untalented randos before hearing a Bach piece. That would be "fair", yes?
- tylerhou 3y agoYou’re strawmanning me. It would be better to let people stream songs by whatever artist they want. Then the fair thing to do is to levy progressively higher taxes on more popular/profitable artists to redistribute money to those who were not born as talented or motivated.
