On the contrary, the authors are starving as things are today. Only an extremely few authors are full time authors the way things work today with publishing companies controlling the whole system.
My Obama tax suggestion will result in 4 million new authors worldwide living full time being authors. Basically which amounts to all the worlds bloggers and online authors being able to share $100 billion yearly resources worldwide.
Not $1 should go to publishers though. If authors will want to hire copyeditors or profetional translators, it'll be their choice. None of which should be contractually obligated ever again to share any of their intellectual propriety revenues with publishing companies.
