I don't understand this argument. You're framing it as though it's a choice between the government and yourself. Of course you're going to use that money more effectively for your own interests.
The problem is that it's not "you," it's the ultrawealthy, and their interests do not align with yours. While you're right that government accountability isn't perfect, at least there's an attempt at it.
