Is a gov't benefit *solely* a matter of handing out money?

Very good. I can see the little light bulb over your head has clicked on.

The system is indeed financed primarily by the rich.

As I said, they gain the most benefit from the system, they live longer,
better, in greater luxury, more leisure, etc etc etc.

Should the poor pay equally for a system that they have a smaller share
of?


Do poor people use a smaller share of the subway car? Or the bus seat? Do
they use a smaller share of the freedom granted by the fighting men in our
military? Are they less flammable, or bulletproof, and as such don't need
the same protections given to them by firefighters and police officers?

What part of the government-funded services do they use less of?
