How about this -- suppose all the public school teachers who taught children how to succeed can't afford private fire-fighters, yet their students who benefited from their lowly remunerated services can? I think the visceral nature of fire and being protected from it by wealth (earned or unearned) is much more upsetting and visible than a jet to transport you.

If anything, this is rich people paying to help prevent the spread of fire, which is a good thing for everyone, and lets the public resources go towards helping those who can't afford the private services.
