Matthew, you obviously never heard of the collective action problem ? Public services are collectivized because they would not happen given differential interests of various fractions of people. Fracking is good for some, bad for others. Creating a cable car or public transport is necessary and good for some, not for others. This is why have collective functions. By giving up on collective taxation and given the rich a free ride, instead of taxing them (or de-propertizing them, which is another possible alternative), which re-neoliberal history shows is not a difficult thing to do at all, you are complicit in the destruction of capacity-building and moving closer to the anarcho-totalitarian proposals to commodify and propertize everything.
