Until the next crisis, and then you hit them again? How many times should they be deemed sole saviours of the whole nation, to support a society need they will never use, before they have enough to be hold the fort for all, with little appreciation back, and decide to go somewhere else?

How many times? As many times as it takes until we don't have a situation where 1% of the country have almost a quarter of the total wealth, or if you want to take it a but further where 10% have more than the remaining 90%. It boggles my mind that you would think this is a fair or desirable outcome for any society.
It's also strange that you think because they may not use the service themselves they should be exempt from supporting it. The majority of the 1% are only rich because they live in a functioning and developed society. They'll have built their wealth on the backs of the average worker, either indirectly or directly, and they should not be allowed to exploit it to the level they have. How well do you think a stock broker or factory owner would do without an educated, healthy, and secure society to call upon?
Tbh I do quite admire how the rich have managed to manipulate the masses into accepting this situation, its amazing what tiny bit of hope in a rigged system will do.
Society is currently like a pyramid, with a broad foundation and a narrow top. We're fed the lie that if we just work hard enough we can all rise to the top. But an inverted pyramid will fail and so for our society to work the majority need to be kept from rising too high. Our goal should not be to rise as individuals to the top, but to reduce the distance between the base and the tip and turn the pyramid into a trapezoid imo. Reduce inequality in wealth and you'll reduce inequalities everywhere else.
