On systems of government like the US republic or the various democracies around the European continent, there is an absolute concept of a citizen's contribution to the infrastructure that the state.. It's called taxation. And it is not the only one. Citizens have various duties in every state; they don't have to be enumerated. For people that make their fortunes by not paying their taxes, lying to the government, etc. your argument might have some value. For people that are working in the public sector exclusively, your argument might have some value. For an absolutist government, your argument would make a lot of sense. But not for the rest.
