Artists can focus on making art early on when they are starting out.

Imagine a singer in Nashville that is just starting out. If they are able to find a minimum wage that is decent enough for them not to think about having a good place to live and having good meals, they can instead focus on making music.

Those artists should get a job that pays more on its own, not get the government to force employers to pay them more. Otherwise one might as well argue that the government should force employers to pay employees a trillion dollars for one minute of work so they never have to worry about money again…
