I'm not sure I understand your answer here, or how it relates to my question. Would you mind clarifying this for me?
Doing taxes and being productive citizens doesn't necessarily mean that you're "giving back something". It mainly means that you're insuring the inhabitants (you included) have better lives.
Those examples you put forth in almost no immediate way compare to keeping your country and all within it safe--TRULY giving something back.
More succinct: In doing those things, you're not giving back to the country. You're living in it.
Gotcha. Thanks.

Um...there was no conundrum.
All questions are conundrums.....
....Er, I'd like to think so......I just wanted to use the word conundrum! 
Ah, I see. I just don't usually think of the word "conundrum" as a synonym for question. I associate it more with something designed to be tricky or confusing, which was not my intention at all.
No further questions - or conundrums - your honor.
