Why would I care, I'm uphill from my neighbors. Besides, I thought of another "freebee" that I get. I have a flood control easement in the back of my property and LA County Flood Control comes and cleans it out in the middle of the night when its raining. Its a really, really nice engineered babbling brook when it rains, and it costs me nothing extra.
Oh, do you mean those who pay any taxes at all, or those 5% of wage earners who pay 60% of all income taxes? Considering that 95% of wage earners only pay 40% of income taxes the answer would be a little skewed one way.

well, I did consider posting that a major flood could only improve Bakersfield by scouring it down to bedrock... but I didn't...
federal dams will be paid for by federal tax dollars BTW |
