There is not a fixed amount of money. If someone gets rich, he doesn’t do so at my expense. If I make money, It comes from commerce, not out of your pocket.

Taxes are a forced taking of wealth, they are an in efficient way of providing things for the common good. Private business providing a service for the good of the community is the most responsive way to get things done.
A privately owned toll road is usually in better condition than a state road.
The Postal Service now uses private shippers for parcel post.

Forest fires occur on gov’t controlled land, and rarely on private forests. Wood product companies take care and protect their raw material.
National forests in Colorado are dying because the gov’t won’t control the bark beetle.

If you want to save a species, find a way to use it commercially.
There would be a glut of ivory if we developed a taste for elephant meat.
