We're still paying taxes. It's estimated that the community at large has a compliance rate of 50-75% on taxes. As a rule of thumb compliance rate increases as one stays longer. I suspect compliance is in the 90s% for the group of us who have been here more than a decade.
That's why I said the taxpayer instead of US citizens. Pft. It angers me when people seem to think we're not taxpayers. If that's the case the IRS better start writing me a fat check!
