Or you can look at it as safe roads, police and fire protection and service, good schools, public parks, and more are the shared responsibility of all and the costs need to be shared.

Or maybe when your house is burning down it's up to you to pay the fire department, or only people who have children in the school should have to pay. It's kind of the approach we take with healthcare - if you choose not to have it you are on the hook for the cost of the service provided
