I'll answer your question, but you need to answer my previously posted questions first. Do you have an issue with democracy? I previously asked that and you didn't answer.

Do I have an issue with Democracy? No. But it is in fact true that those who pay little to nothing in taxes get the biggest bang for their buck as we all use the exact same infrastructure/systems to buy what we need to live: food, clothing, shelter, etc.
