I think I can assume that you do not receive social security nor make use of Medicare, have never been protected or aided by police, firefighters or the military. You do not drive on the US interstate system, do not eat FDA inspected and approved foods, are not protected by the work of your local Health Department and the CDC. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
