Lots of musicians complain about streaming — they say it doesn't generate nearly as much revenue for them as they deserve and need.
So here's a proposal to help fix that: a tax that would increase American consumers' music streaming bills by 50% — meaning you'd pay an extra $4 to $10 a month for services like Spotify or Apple Music.
