A tiny sliver of all music being created, yes, but the majority of all music being heard. Most people in America aren't rich, meaning that the very wealthy are a tiny percentage. By your logic, that means that the very wealthy, being such a small percentage, must likewise have little to no influence on the lives of the American population.
