this is penny change, in grand scheme of things, from american perspective. this has been strategic goal of american command for better part of last century, some rednecks yapping about muh taxes going abroad shouldn't have influence on that
Yeah they also seem to not understand we only get paid back for lend lease and loans of Ukraine wins. For some reason they don't understand how loans work.
I agree entirely with your point, although I'm not sure 'taxation without representation' should be the takeaway.

it's their take, not mine, made even weaker if you consider that deep red states are mostly federal money holes (with exception of texas). as it happens, there is general consent, it's only loud minority
