You're going down a weird logic path based on the mistake in believing taxation makes government beholden to its citizens. That is like saying a guy who takes something from you is beholden to you because you're affected by his taking.
Taxation has the opposite effect of what you claim. It makes the citizens beholden to the government.
Also get over your kick of saying I'm using words wrongly. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and being nice when I conceded that I could have been clearer. I haven't been using any words wrongly. Instead I've been using them in ways of more understanding than is colloquially standard. You're basically complaining about having to learn more about what these words mean.
