Them and the entirety of the Libertarian and Tea Parties, not to mention whatever Anarchists still exist.
- Dylan16807 13y agoNo. They have a problem with the taxes and the services, but they don't have a problem with realizing that taxes pay for services the way protomyth here seems to.
- protomyth 13y agoI know taxes pay for services. That is my point. The services must be paid for. You can have the people using the service pay for them, have an alternate revenue stream (e.g. advertising), or have them subsidized by other tax payers. There is no free.
- Dylan16807 13y agoYou were bitching about the use of the word 'free city-provided service' as if people didn't realize that meant 'tax-based'. There is no reason to do that. It's arguing that a term everyone already understands is misleading. Just treat it like an idiom or something and stop being a distraction from the actual topic of discussion.
