eh, if you live in a different neighborhood, (and you probably do, if you really earn 10x as much) you certainly are getting a vastly different level of police protection.
I mean, sure, that's mostly local money, and it's a small portion of what you are paying in taxes, but people who live in good areas have a vastly different relationship with law enforcement than people who live in bad areas, and really, should be charged quite a lot more for that law enforcement, as they are getting vastly better service.
(granted, law enforcement, and the federal oversight of law enforcement is a small amount of our taxation; but it is the most obvious place where the rich get vastly more out of the system than the poor.)
