Sort of my point in my rather verbose post above. Not every expense benefits every individual in the community. But overall the goal, within financial constraints, is to provide as wide a variety of services and infrastructure to as many as feasible---kind of a community service quid pro quo---you pay for mine and I'll pay for yours.
