I once heard a story of a family living abroad feeling quite bent about this extra taxation that they were paying no reason. But the story ends with the family being rescued by a USMC helicopter and airlifted to safety after a natural disaster, at which point they supposed they had been paying for something after all.

but they would've been rescued regardless of whether they'd been paying their share of taxes, as long as they're a US citizen.
