Is that just because you agree with them?
Or is it your recognition that the merit of the service they render allows them to ignore laws?
I have no idea what you are talking about. Why would anyone be above the law?

Who was it who said "it is our patriotic duty to pay more taxes"?
I don't know. Joe Biden said something similar, but I don't know whom you are quoting.

During the campaign, Biden was talking about Obama's proposed tax changes in which people at the top would pay more in taxes. Google turned up several references to Biden's statement. Here is how he was quoted on one website:
Quote:
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said. Of those who would pay more, he said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

I agree with him, but don't see what it has to do with this thread.
