“As you pay more tax, you get less services”
This is a lie. In US, most food our rules, legal system, government agencies (that are not direct transfers like doc security & Medicare) exist to protect properties and interest of the rich.
That higher income people are not seeing much of direct transfers does not mean they are not getting more benefits from the government. Even our bloated military and foreign policy is primarily still protecting US business interests globally. It’s not minimum wage peon that benefits from that. It’s owners of large capital

I earn over £90k in the UK. It is very much true, a lot of things are "means tested".
