I paid taxes when I was in Germany.  Does that make me a German citizen?
I paid taxes in Italy.  Does that make me an Italian citizen?
I paid taxes in France. Does that make me a French citizen?
Etc...

I may have been bound to their laws to a reasonable extent, but aside from that, I was just there for business or pleasure.

I said social contract not citizen 

And note the word "Part" in my original comment . Their is more to it then that. But it's a condition of being a citizen .

Fair enough, but irrelevant to the conversation.  We're defining "real American."
