Yes, that is what I believe. I do not believe paying taxes confers ownership/access/etc over products produced with said tax dollars.
Your argument doesn't make sense for source code created by a tax funded entity. It makes sense for private information, or a publicly funded physical object, but this not either of those. I have a hard time believing you don't realize this, why even argue the point? Do you really think someone shouldn't have access to source code payed for by their own taxes?
