Even if you don't like schools and public transportation because you are so wealthy you don't need them, you do like roads, running water and electricity don't you? And before you argue that you have water/electric bills, you are billed for the service, the city, which is funded by *gasp* taxes, pays to maintain the delivery system that gives you the service.

Get real. I paid $7K in property taxes last year that funds the bulk of this. Go here and let me know your findings:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/2011-taxreceipt. Don't blame me if I don't get excited about spending $8,500 on Medicaid related costs and insurance in addition to my health insurance premiums or $2,000 towards paying interest on the national debt or another $4,000 on social welfare programs or another almost $8,000 for a social security system that will likely not be there when I retire due to mismanagement. If this excites you then you are in luck because there is a lot to get excited about. These things are not a cheerful 'investment in my future'.

This is sound logic on why rich people are evil. I applaud your intellectual approach to this.
