    Students and the elderly absolutely pay taxes. There are handful of exemptions they might claim, but not for sales tax, gas tax, even property tax is just a reduced rate for seniors but students have it factored into their rent just like everyone else

      this is a pointless argument “free” means “free at the point of access”

      Like roads. You would describe being able to walk or drive down a road as “free” even though you did technically pay for them via taxes

      The distinction is completely irrelevant and pedantic
