I’ve referred to myself as a German taxpayer the same way I call myself a permanent resident of Germany, and feel this entitles me to write my local member of the Bundestag - who apparently agrees, responding with a far more direct email addressing the topic than I’ve ever gotten from my US senators or congressman. I am a bit bothered by things that say “BürgerInnen” have the right to something all legal residents have (like the Covid-19 vaccine), for fear that some of the less foreigner-friendly types are tacking on a “Staats-“ prefix in their heads, but that’s on me.
