Who really benefits the most from Government?
I don’t understand why the wealthy complain about the taxes they pay. Do they feel they’re not getting their money’s worth?
Their companies are staffed by workers whose educations were subsidized by Government, their costly businesses and homes are protected by police and military who are paid by Government, their personal safety on the streets is dramatically increased by Government programs which keep the poor from becoming violent out of desperation and hunger, they are able to exchange their goods and services over roads, train-lines and telecom infrastructure which were built/subsidized by Government and, most importantly, their wealth provides them increased access to Government officials which simply is not available to the average citizen.
Seriously, what more do you want and how much less do you want to pay for it?

I receive no form of Government assistance whatsoever.
Less Strawman/Ad Hominem, more answering the question that was asked.
@ Frank Zebottom
Orphans and Widows can barely get a handshake from their Representative, let alone a personal meeting with their Congressmen, like the wealthy can.
@ John Doe
Don’t be naive. The Government gave the telecoms a buttload of money to expand their infrastructure and sold them large chunks of the wireless spectrum for pennies on the dollar.
and those people mentioned above complain that the other fifty percent aren’t paying enough

The poor parasites like you that depend on the rest of us to carry you.
50% of Americans pay no federal income taxes and they use the most benefits that they pay nothing for.
PS the wealthy already pay most of the taxes.
So you are saying the government pays for our telecom now? BS
