> You still benefit from roads if you don't use them, and schools as well. Indirect beneficiaries cannot reasonably be expected to shoulder the costs of a good or service. The public benefits when I send my kids to private school, and yet the public doesn't help pay for that. The public benefits when I do my job and do it right, yet they don't pay me. I benefit from my neighbor keeping his house in good repair, yet I don't help him pay for it. This is a totally specious argument employed by leftists to justify government-sanctioned theft of individuals' money.
