You've got the brain of a 10 y-o, Mickd.
OF COURSE I'd take whatever I could from the State. Even someone as thick as you can see that my few thousand quid (that I'd go without IF multi-millionaires did the same) is total peanuts, and would probably more likely be spent building HS2.
Every country needs to raise so much Tax, so it has to come from Businesses or Civilians. Very very rich people wouldn't even notice it, but nor - to a lesser extent - would 'inheritors' (when they all of a sudden inherit £000,000s.) It's either that........or increase Income Tax. Full Stop.

And don't get the idea that The Rich don't secretly agree, you thick get. I'm ashamed that you're a Baggie.
