I just don't think that is true.
> The court system makes complex contracts possible in a way that really only benefits holders of capital.
The court system is not all that expensive to run. Furthermore, just enforcing arbitrary contract would also allow most of these contracts.
> Infrastructure for transportation and information technology benefits everyone, but especially people who own companies that ship goods and deliver services over the internet.
Again, infrastructure is not the major cost of the government. Secondly, many people who make their living form simple stuff like pluming NEED the roads to make money also.
I think its hard to argue that OVERALL, richer people profit more from infrastructure then poorer.
> The police tend to provide better protection to wealthier people in wealthier communities, who have more to lose from property crimes in any case.
Again, the police is actually not a major cost of the government.
Furthermore, property protection is a pretty small part of police work and there a LARGER force of private security already operating to do that.
> Government contracts benefit people who have a stake in the companies that service those contracts.
That point I actually agree with.
