Of course you do. That's how you know they *all* pay taxes.. Odd that, as most social groups have at least a few members that are, shall we say, less than honest when it comes to taxes. Yet travellers are paragons of virtue who are just given a bad name by others.
If you believe that of any social group, you are being extremely naive.
Funnily enough, I suspect if Travelers did contribute as much to local communities as you appear to be saying, most local communities would be happy to accept them, and ignore any bad press.
Personally, I agree with Matt. Travelers are like any group. Some are good, some are bad.
