Yeah it's not the rich people consuming your stuff, it's you actually consuming stuff that is getting built by the taxes the rich people pay. I just Googled UK for example and if I'm correct, the most wealthy 10% pay 60% of ALL income taxes in the country, so obviously they are paying much more in proportion to the services they consume compared to you. So they are basically sponsoring you and if they gained their wealth through legal means, there is no way of getting around that. And all the talk about taxing the rich more is kind of pointless at some point, because they are already paying more than their share and can easily move to another jurisdiction that is more fair to them, so in the end it would be normal people like you having to actually pay for all that you need yourself, rather than now when you largely depend on the taxes these wealthy people pay and the jobs they create.
