The issue is that the wealthy receive more benefit than the poor which was my assertion that the wealthy receive more benefits from our government than the poor doI didn't say they aren't available....only that they benefit moreAll that is available to anyone
Anyone can get a patent the military protects all US interests abroad ( it's not supposed to but that's another thread) The legal system works for everyone and people are even provided free attorneys and everyone can use infrastructure to get around not just the "rich"
Why because they use them and other people don't
Whose fault is that?
The issue is that those benefits are available to anyone and everyone if they want to use them
The "rich" do not have exclusive rights to any of the benefits you listed they just use them
It's no different than you complaining that businesses use roads to move goods you can use roads to move goods too you just choose not to it's not anyone's fault but your own
That's a bullshit argument . We are supposed to be talking fairness. hey, you don't HAVE to make $1million a year if you don't want to pay the tax rate for that income !
The fairest system is for each person, where possible, to pay for the specific federal service he uses. Stamps for post offices, tolls for post roads, a minting fee for having one's specie minted into coin, court fees for using the court system, etc.
For those things that benefit all states equally, such as the navy and army (when necessary) the cost should be apportioned to the states, by population.
