Because I made the agreement!
And by living here, I agree to abide by the laws of this country.
And pay what is due.

Okay. This is just a terminology thing, then. If I make a deal with a guy whereby I give him every tenth fish in return for fishing on his land, I’d consider it rather insulting to him to tell him that that tenth fish was a gift of my own free will to him. Instead, I’d consider it a debt and an obligation to him. Gifts, to me, are things that you give when there is no obligation, when you haven’t agreed to one.
