You seem to think that other Americans owe you something

If members of a nation did not owe anything one to another, what would be a reason for such nation to exist? To protect and serve the international corporations? You got it wrong, sir.

No, I think I have it just right. You have no right to my property. You have no right to use the power of government to increase your living standard by taking my property or forcing me to pay more for goods and services to support your lifestyle. I do have an obligation to live according to the law of this land. Other than that, my obligation is to my family, not to you or yours. This is pretty basic stuff.
