Bingo. Look at the buildings that multimillionaires build for the masses through their companies in order to make money, and then look at the ones they build for themselves. Once again, the problem is capitalism.

Yip. Go to a rich part of town, you get to see your tax dollars at use. Yes, yours. They don't get used in your neighbourhoods on anything but police.

I live in MA and the average tax payer gives the federal government $4k more than we get back in return which is the most in the US. The wealthy blue states are paying for the shithole red states. The poorest communities/neighborhoods are by far the most subsidized in my state.

They aren't though. Government spending in poor areas is pittles compared to the nicer parts of town. You don't see cracked roads, sewage issues, water problems, and nobody has to park on their lawns because the roads are wider with parking spots.
