"free"? they mean after we already paid for it in taxes?
Or do they mean "free", as in, we don't have the money but we mortgaged your children's future for it?
Or do they mean "free", as in, we used government power to convey a monopoly to favored parties to jack the price of service to the point where you can't afford it without our "free" subsidy?
I'd settle for FREE, as in, get out of my life, let me conduct my affairs as I see fit, and leave me the @#$K alone. For a long time I thought I could just pay my taxes, essentially pay the extortion so they would go away, but now, now they have to meddle in everything I do as well.
