taxpaying

Rendering unto Caesar

Taxpaying describes someone who pays taxes, often invoked to emphasize civic contribution or stake in government decisions: hardworking, taxpaying citizens.

The term frequently appears in political rhetoric to distinguish responsible contributors from those perceived as burdens on the system: As a taxpaying American, I deserve better.
