No, your government is.

Funding government is not a zero-sum equation.

To add, you seem to see your government as a collective, a common pot in which resources are pooled, fairly, and then redistributed, fairly.

I see my government as a contractor, tasked to perform a certain function for me. If it fails to perform, the contract is broken, and I am no longer under any obligation to pay.
