I hate Rand but that was an ad hominem attack and not much else. But more importantly; "Entrepreneurs(with a big E) get subsidized security, roads, mail, water, food, electricity, education, health care, etc." I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. The taxes levied on businesses and individuals pay for the (often shoddy and wasteful) infrastructure and services.

It's both. The existing gets taxed to pay for the future, including NEW business SBA loans, infrastructure, court systems, securities exchange support, etc. They aren't made without help, and help is not possible without some of them succeeding and being taxable. It's a giant, systemic feedback loop, one we try to make end up being positive in a good way.
