Pride and racism mixed with delusion. A significant amount of British people think they're better than everyone else and the EU was lucky to have them.
It's not just paying for stuff they use, it's how much they're paying and also the stuff that they don't want be funded (like aid to Israel.)
For example, government funded housing programs don't actually get better deals for their clients. It's essentially a scam to funnel taxpayer money to landlords.
Another example would be medicare and medicaid. Because the industries are privately owned, taxpayers are wasting money to maximize profit for business owners.
I'm sorry that you pay into a system without understanding it, but that doesn't make those who avoid it shitty people.
Do you think the disparity in wealth should grow, or shrink? Funneling taxpayer money to businesses maximizing profit is how the disparity in wealth grows.
If you don't like it, maybe you should advocate for nationalizing industries that suck up taxpayer money.
