Well, I'm an American taxpayer and believe me we pay on every penny! I guess I look at it this way - the US gave us a free ride through high school and a state-subsidized university education. We have lived well in America with a good road and air transportation system, good communications and utilities, libraries, snow removal (just to name those close to my heart) and a passport that gives us a lot of freeom in this world. Now is the time we are paying back for the privileges of citizenship.
