No. The difference is all equally benefit from a common defense. All do NOT equally benefit from sin taxes, welfare and socialized medicine.
the people at the top of the social structures benefit more from the common defense than the people at the bottom.
Really? so their lives are worth more? Their freedoms and rights are worth more?
The idea that the wealthy have more to lose in times of war or when facing death or the loss of right is simply ludicrous.
Their property is worth more.
I would probably be a lot more unhappy if my house and car was blown up than if my cardbox house was.
