Frankly I'm tired of this debate, at some point in time, everyone is subsidized by the overall tax base, whether it be healthcare, unemployment, infrastructure ect.

Tell ya what, let's retroactively reverse a generation of wealth transfer from inner city to suburbs and shut the continuous flow of money, and I'd be happy to. That would be only fair isn't it?
You are tired of the debate because you don't like the obvious concept that inner city subsidies silly, unsustainable growth.
