Federal spending per person is $14,652. If you’ve ever earned less than ~$70k you’ve accepted a dime forcibly extracted from a stranger.

That's disingenuous. Federal spending isn't spent on persons, it's spent on infrastructure. If the city decides to renew or clean the sewer pipes running under my street, how many dimes have I accepted, personally?
