I understand that, but..
Taxes you can plan for, you know how much you have to pay and when so it's rather easy to adjust your economy to this.
Even other "citizenship responsibilities" like compulsory military service or national guard training is something you can plan for months or years in advance..
But this Jury Duty, what, they can call you ANYTIME and demand your presence at court?
