Bro, I'm picking up the bill for your kids (or if you're childless then someone's kids) to go to school. So maybe stop with this nonsensical view of society where you have to cover all your costs.

Obviously some of us net positive into the government. That's how society works.

And it should be mentioned again that Uber drivers out of work are currently receiving benefits that Uber avoided paying into.
