Indigo, because you saw fit to ask this of me first, and I gave you the courtesy of a response, it seems only fair that you answer your own question, in turn.

Do you pay US taxes personally, not by proxy through a spouse, family member, trust, or other income splitting mechanism? By this, do you pay taxes on personal income you earn from legitimate, objectively verifiable paid work recognized by the IRS?

What is to give light must endure burning.
