True, they are afforded the protection of the military, police and other agencies paid for by tax money. If they drive, they benefit from the roads. They drink clean water unless they have a well. They have representation in the federal, state and local government. All paid for by taxes. I agree it's simply greed. Or prehaps a childish stand to rebel against their own country. Anyway, the real shame is they are forcing their children to have to pick up the tab for them. They are not very responible parents. Their kids may end up in foster care after this whole affair is over. It's worth paying a few bucks in taxes to protect your kids from such fate...They are selfish and shameful.
