Well except I value a movie or a car that you are assuming I can afford. I will be paying more in taxes to receive the same services.

What I suggested was that I would be willing to pay to get better infrastructure, not the same one.  No one wants to throw money away for no benefit, but by the same measure we can't get things for free, either, someone has to pay for them.
