No one should be that rich. At the same time, thousands of people won't show up to hear me sing.

I just don’t see how we can reconcile the two. People want to hear her sing and they’re willing to pay a lot for it.

The main alternative I can think of is for her to sing for free and have the government pay for the production of her shows. As popular as she is I can’t see that going over well. Putting the arts under political control leads to the unnecessary politicization of the arts.

Or, hear me out: tax the rich.
