It's worse than that.
Socialism in its pre-Zimbabwe stage requires a source of production to exploit.
In the case of a fabulously wealthy pre-socialist empire (like, say, England) the scam can go on for several generations.
In the case of turd world pestholes, it can only go on for a few years.
You, my friend, are the last best hope of a world rushing headlong toward socialism to serve as the outside source of capital.
Socialists, even very smart ones, are blind to the source of wealth.
They take wealth as a given (a preexisting condition which does not require any action to increase or maintain it). The socialist project only focuses on the exploitation of wealth. Since it produces none, it can only go on for as long as there is an external source of wealth to exploit.
For our time, what you refer to as "the American taxpayer" is the target source, all of the others having been already degraded or destroyed.
