I agree with Zen, the entire premise is based on a flawed use of the word "owe" and all its negative connotations.

As a matter of fact, the government does owe me a lot of shit that I have paid them for. Roads, police, schools, etc. were all part of our agreement. Would any of those kids interviewed say that their roofing contractor doesn't "owe" them a new roof after they've paid for one?
