IMO, I think that artists, like any other person, should have wealth and income limits imposed on them. No one should be rich enough to buy influence, and artists would be especially dangerous if they had mogul money and the ability to popularize ideas through their works. JK Rowling, Ronald Reagan, Kanye West, Alex Jones, and others come to mind.

The answer isn’t to make artists rich, but rather to eliminate poverty and provide a baseline of living that allows anybody to succeed at life.
