The Fathers did expect us to pay dues. The people own the gym (country) not the other way around

If you're a member of a club or gym, you're expected to pay dues...are you not? A gym or a club, can't make you sign up to pay dues, then unilaterally, without your agreement, increase them however high it wants them to be. Also a gym or a club's cost is a small amount from your excess income, not ten to 50+% of your income. As for the benefits the rich get, those benefits are mostly created by fairly wealthy people. They are net givers to the country not net takers from it. Their efforts create the wealth that pays for most of those benefits.
