First, "citizen" or "resident" or "person" conveys exactly the same entitlements. And, while I don't know that, and don't want to ascribe this position to this particular person, many people do use the term "taxpayer" to imply they're more entitled to some right/voice in government/whatever, than those who "don't" pay taxes, like students, renters, whatever.
I had the same reaction. I think Sam let all of the ads last federal election get to his head. "Hardworking taxpayers with young children at home," please.
