No I'm not, but I'm saying you don't want bureaucrats to be deciding who gets these funds. So this is one way, you could do it by polling, after all the current system bases it on popularity to some extent. Take the cube root, so if A is a thousand times as popular as B, A will get ten times as much money as B, so this way it's the counterpart to a progressive income tax. So this way, yes if you're tremendously successful you do get more, but you don't get tremendously more, and most of the money goes to support a large number of artists of mid-range popularity.
