All things not equal

Why taxes are good value for the money
  

Reason 1:  Justice … Effort is necessary but not sufficient for success.

All other things being equal, the person making the greatest effort will, over time, have the greatest success. All other things, however, are not equal.
Society has an interest in leveling the playing field and making sure that everyone plays by the same rules. We all suffer, even the rich (eventually) if barriers to entry cause ecconomic stagnation

Reason 2:  Efficiency … Public frameworks make business possible.

“Plug-and-play” environments minimize barriers to entry 

Reason 3: Safety … It is A LOT easier to prevent a disaster than it is to clean up after one

Regulation prevents those gambling on safety from gaining a cost advantage over more responsible players
