That infrastructure does get its share, its called income taxes, sales taxes from products people buy, payroll taxes, mandatory employee provident fund contributions which governments use as their personal piggy bank in a lot of countries , and most importantly the product/service itself, good luck swimming in your pool of tax dollars, when that dollar is worth nothing, because you dont have much products or services to buy with it.
The reality is , recent politicians have been wasting money excessively, 50-60-70% of the tax revenue ends up being lost to corruption, inefficiencies, etc.
One can continue promoting taxing more and more, it’ll just end up killing the golden goose.
The problem is more with the oligarchic style of engagement between big corps and gov, its stifling innovation, making medicines 10000x more expensive than it needs to be, with extremely insane patents stifling competition and small startups defeating old barrons, a overly litigious society which is rampant in most western countries.
We keep losing our free market, and thus losing prosperity of the middle class, and we keep blaming it on not taxing enough…
