Sorry, must have missed it.


Ok, here's my take on it. I don't believe those who are paying more taxes are reaping more benefits from the Government. They may get a bit more social security, etc. But that's in proportion to what was contributed anyways.

Rich people may use more resources though I don't know what those would be as regular people tend to rely more on government services, welfare, medicaid, subsidies, HUD housing, public hospitals, unemployment, public defenders, jails, etc.

Even if rich people contributed the same percentage of their total income as those in the middle class, they would still be contributing more total dollars and would be using less gov. services.


I will concede those who are paying more taxes are typically consuming more and reaping more benefits, just not government benefits.
