Too bad that cost is levied on people who don’t even need or want those services. The rich, childless, houseless, and single are subsidizing services for everyone else regardless of whether they personally derive any benefit.

If that doesn’t strike you as unfair I’m not sure what would.

Unfair to me are situations where people die because they are unable to pay for their own needs like food and healthcare. I gladly pay 50% of my income for basic infrastructure, healthcare and welfare for everyone, and i still have more than enough money at the end of the month after all expenses like rent, food, entertainment, etc.

Without government assistance it would be very foolish to not have children, for most people at least. So this cuts both ways. If anything it is more than fair. Rich people avoid most of the taxes anyways also in Germany.

Since they're rich and childless, they should vote with their wallet and move to a country with less taxes.
