Yes, all those self created entitlements that the wealthy create for themselves are extremely costly. All the money they give themselves out of the production of the whole population is extremely costly. All the privileges and special tax exemptions that the wealthy give themselves are extremely costly. All the shelters are extremely costly. All the "business expenses" they take for themselves are extremely costly. All the extraordinary benefits they give themselves are extremely costly.
It costs a great deal of money to isolate yourself in communities away from the common folk. It costs a great deal of money to reserve only the best of everything for yourself. It costs a great deal of money to convince the self imposed ignorant, greedy, and malignant to support an elite wealth cast at the expense of those who produce all the goods and services. It costs a great deal of money to fool those who want to be fooled into supporting the idea that the wealthy deserve all the benefits of a high productivity economy at the expense of leaving the bulk of the people sick and at risk of every possible disaster needlessly.
Yes, we can't afford proper working infrastructure and keeping the population properly fed because it would cut a little bit into the extravagant wealth and lifestyle of the entitled wealth class. We need to support the master class in the ever more extravagant lifestyle they want to have in the future and insure that they can buy and sell all the economic slaves that we can possibly produce. If people did not give all the wealth of the nation to the elite, then they would not be able to buy and sell all the people they want and get all the otherwise illegal services the common people provide them out of economic desperation.
