    Do you choose to use roads? Do you choose to shower? Do you choose to use power? Do you choose to use sewer? Do you choose to use public parks? Do you choose to use libraries? Do you choose to use anything subsidized by the government?

    Then you’re choosing to pay for it. Million dollar infrastructure projects cannot be funded without taxes. It’s better if the load is balanced. This is why billionaires should be footing the majority of the bill, so you don’t have to cover their share. You should reframe your question to: why do billionaires steal money from us by not paying their fair share?
