Realistically, large numbers of people pay little to no tax, and so the amount they "pay" for every service will be small, if not zero or negative.

  I have unpopular opinions about that as well.

  This is partially true... for income taxes. A large number of people do not pay income tax, and this includes retirees, the disabled, students, the very wealthy, etc etc. There are many types of taxes. And just about everyone pays taxes of some sort.

    I am a retiree and I very definitely pay income tax.

      I definitely wasn’t being clear there. I meant those 30% or so of retirees that depend entirely on social security.
