Um...stealing, eh? I hope you don't avail yourself of roads, police, fire departments, national defense, etc, etc. A US citizen pays (on average) a smaller percentage of income in taxes than most developed countries, and yet we bitch and moan. The American sense of entitlement is really out of hand.
