Equating walking in and deliberately using equipment in the room to spy on your roommate is just a terrible analogy. A more analogous analogy would be "peering through the window".
In the latter instance, the roommates privacy is being violated without him having any knowledge of the incident. In the 'walk in' scenario the roommate is aware and has been precluded to his entrance, even if just briefly.
This reminds me of, "World to end tomorrow! Women and minorities hit the hardest!" Rich people don't benefit more from society than anyone else. Probably less if you think about it. The "ultra-rich" as you like to call them, don't drive their cars 6 days a week to work over government paid roads. The don't send their kids to public schools and you won't find them at an airport. They don't visit the library or spend time at public parks and would not be caught dead at a public golf course.
Oh, and while they make up five percent of the population, they pay for half of EVERYTHING the government spends. Sorry, but the top 5% do not take up 50% of the road ways or somehow suck up 50% of the protections the military provides us. They end up paying for the services the other 95% enjoy.
You are right, they don't drive their cars 6 days a week on the roadways, their workers do. Their workers have also been largely educated with public funds. Their assets are protected by not only the police, but also through the judiciary. Also, their employees are able to travel cheaply across the country for business because of the FAA and the airport infrastructure in this country. Not to mention that they too benefit from the FAA and government subsidized small airports in order to fly around in their Gulfstream III. Also their businesses use the roadways and cause more damage to roads then passenger cars.
Now does the above apply equally to all rich people, no absolutely not, but to pretend that they don't benefit the most from government services is just ridiculous. Just because they don't appear to be the primary beneficiary doesn't mean that don't reap ridiculously large ancillary benefits, the most important one being a somewhat functioning society.
