I'm not really a fan of the entitlement attitude of the rich where they expect the roads/legal/payment stability without paying the appropriate taxes to support the infrastructure.

I mean, it's not like infrastructure isn't decaying or anything...

Then I presume you're fine with switching to a toll based system where bridges/roads are funded by usage. You wear the road down every day,I am you pay every day. That's as fair as it gets.

The notion that rich people simply have to pay more for roads because they are rich is senseless.

I would think it could be argued that the incredibly rich benefit more from public infrastructure.

Do you still agree with your statement if Amazon had to pay a toll for every shipment?

The top 1% pay something like 60% of all taxes.

Are you saying that’s “not appropriate”?

I would be very interested in a source on this.
