alt Hacker NewsThat's... exactly how public services should work?
"The public pays to build roads. General Motors, ExxonMobil, and Amazon (delivery vans) collect the returns"
"The public pays for public schools. Shareholders (of any company that doesn't solely rely on menial labor) collect the returns"

Yes, I go to school, then I get a job, then my taxes pay for the school for my neighbours kids, they get and job, their taxes pay for the school aso. But, this chain is broken if the ones benefitting from public services don't give anything in return to finance those public services. A billionaire that made their fortune did it with the help of public services but usually, they tend to try to pay the less taxes possible.
