If I need to pay taxes anyway, at least I prefer to have the investment returned back to me in some way, and this seems like a nice way to do so.
*Paid for with taxes, not free.

Everyone knows that… that’s what they mean by free, free to use. Why do you think people don’t know this? Did you just figure it out or something? Are you seriously that slow?

That goes without saying.
It’s free for the end consumer and everyone knows that’s paid with taxes. So saying free is just easier.

But the Libertarians always have to say it. Nevermind that anything free from a corporation is paid for though advertising, or selling your data, or folded into the item cost, or future purchases, so by this strict definition that “someone is paying for it” means literally nothing is ever free.
It has to be said EVERY TIME someone mentions that public services are offered at no charge.
