Willingness to pay is a pretty good indicator of importance, I think. Where this falls apart is ability to pay.

But that's life. If you can't pay, you won't get what you want, no matter how important it may be. Expecting other people to cover for you is called entitlement.

What do you call it when you expect to be able to screw over your fellow man, and have the state's monopoly on violence protect you for it?

Reasonable.
