I suppose so but it's actually quite a small amount of government spending that goes on transport & education, it's welfare that costs the government more than anything else and so it's not always obvious that money is being spent with good results. But public transport & state run schools (which I dont think are as bad as she makes out) are never going to get better without investment, or become more effecient, unless you privatise them I suppose but not many would want that.
She comes across as pretty arrogant to me tbh, she's earning millions doing something she loves, she shouldnt complain about the 50% figure. Lots of people have to pay that, a lot of whom probably work harder than her and earn nowhere near as much, and what's this about with her saying "I cant use public transport", that doesnt mean she shouldnt play a part in funding it.
