The state should not distribute this tax money in linear proportion to popularity, because that would give most of it to superstars, leaving little to support all the other artists. I therefore recommend using a function whose derivative is positive but tends towards zero, such as cube root. With cube root, if superstar A has 1000 times the popularity of successful artist B, A will get 10 times as much money as B. (A linear system would give A 1000 times as much as B.)  This way, although each superstar still gets a larger share than other artists, the superstars together will get only a small fraction of the funds, so that the system can adequately support a large number of fairly popular artists. This system would use its funds efficiently for the support of art.
