This is completely, totally, objectively false.

> It’s simply pay for use.

This is false. Toll roads are "pay for use". Capital gains tax is, objectively, not "pay for use".

> Anyone with more than 100M in assets has used the system a shit ton

There's zero evidence that supports a strong correlation between how many assets someone has and how much value they've obtained from government services. This is just entirely fabricated.

...which they've already actually paid through taxes on profits.

This bundle of falsehoods is just a thin facade around the emotional plea that "someone having more money than me is bad, and I should get some of it".
