No, they are not paying the costs no matter whether they're paying most of the taxes. To make them pay the cost you'd have to transplant these city dwellers into the boonies, denying them access to their favourite entertainments, keep the far away from all the things which they consider essential to their city lifestyles. Oh, they'll have food, they'll have a roof over their heads and they can surely find work at the local factory or supermarket so why are they complaining that they're being starved of all the things which make life worth living for them? The factory pays them, doesn't it? The roof does not leak? If they want entertainment they can go to a barn dance or to the local pub where the Good Ol' Boys are playing last centuries greatest hits so stop complaining about there not being any good coffee shops, avant garde theaters, second-hand bookshops with philosophy circles, activist cooperatives for the underdeveloped people in faraway places and that everybody keeps on wearing those silly feed store caps.
