    You're thinking about this in a simplistic manner. No, the individual didn't use 600K in public resources, but the company he/she worked for did. There are costs associated with generating that kind of income/wealth. Do you really think that all it took to earn $2.5 million was driving to work, mailing a few letters using the post office, etc. Google the social costs of wealth.
