People who make this comment, do you really think that it's not a basic assumption that a government service is tax funded? Where the hell else would the funding come from?
Does "it's not free you pay for it from your taxes" really need to be said? "free" in this instance means no charge on top of the taxes funding it. For instance, Amtrak is partially tax funded but charges fares.

My impression is that they are fully aware but they don't want, for whatever reason, to come right out with the "taxes are theft" framing. The astounding irony of posting these messages using a set of technologies and infrastructure originated via taxes collected and then used by the government makes my head hurt.
