I'm a taxpayer and an American citizen so I do own that federal land. The government is just the caretaker.
I'm aware of that, however we "out west" tire of people from small states "back east" deciding that the west is so large that it can be given away to a bunch of 60's transplants. and actually, the federal government has given(sold) a bunch of your land. There are entire game management units in Washington State that were previously entirely within the boundaries of national forests however now the land is owned by indian tribes and/or timber companies and now access is restricted to tribal members or those that will pay an access fee of several hundred dollars. So much for you being a taxpayer that owns public land.
