Because your favorite authors, screenwriters, poets, bands would be homeless under what counts as "work," or they'd not have the time, money, energy to invest in their preferred work.

I agree. "Starving artist" should not be a common phrase.

This is exactly why my country subsidizes art so people are still encouraged to make. I guess the US doesn't have that either.

If it's a good idea, it's safe to assume it doesn't exist in the US. You'll be correct much more often than not.

Is there competition for the subsidies?
