What the heck are you thinking?
Tax dollars is OUR money.
That we give to the government as its salary to do what it is supposed to do.
A corrupt government is not FOR THE PEOPLE...
Matthew 20:25-26
USA is supposed to be one nation under God.
It is what made it so great while it lasted!
In Christ....

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles
lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you.
Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.

Many of those taxpayers are parents and the taxes are paid by a family which includes children. So we ignore those children? Also, there are other people who are adults, they are citizens, they don't make enough money to pay taxes, but they might have paid taxes in the past. So it was their tax dollars that were used but because they didn't pay taxes in some arbitrary year they don't get a rebate? Likewise with retired people.
It seems to me if you are claiming that only tax payers should get a rebate then it shouldn't be a flat $5,000 per taxpayer but it should be doled out based on how much they have paid in taxes.
Now are you going to pick a time range? Is it based on their entire life?
Now suppose you have an 18 year old who has never paid taxes. But their parents paid taxes for the entire 18 years of their life and their parents are now dead. Their tax dollars were misused but you are refusing to give anything to them because they are dead, so their family is defrauded twice.
So to answer your question "whose taxes were abused"? Most likely every single taxpayer for the last 50 years at least. Since many of those tax payers are dead it seems quite reasonable that their children should get their rebates. If you are giving rebates to children of taxpayers it seems reasonable that all citizens get the rebate. Also the benefit to the government to do this is that the majority of Americans will spend this rebate stimulating the economy. So the biggest advantage to the country will be to from those who have paid the least taxes and the least benefit will be from those who paid the most. That would be an argument to give everyone the same $5,000.
Finally if you want to give it to taxpayers instead of citizens then what about corporations?
The minute you go down the rabbit hole of "whose taxes where abused" everything becomes open to litigation and then only the lawyers will get the money in the end.
