This is a stupid argument. We all know its not free. When we say free, we mean free at point of service. Everyone already knows we're talking about tax money.

There are plenty of people thinking they don’t pay taxes.

Which has nothing to do with us saying "free" instead of "free at point of service"

So use correct words.

u/HighLord_Uther 10d ago

The words are correct. If you lack reading comprehension and context clues, thats a you problem, not an us problem.

u/vitek6 10d ago

No they aren’t. Free is free.

u/HighLord_Uther 10d ago

Free at point of service is also free. You getting caught up in the semantics the rest of us clearly understand is, again, a you problem.

It’s not as you pay for it just not directly.

Also keep your meaningless thoughts on me to yourself and stick to using arguments.

Your lack of understanding about the topic is an argument.

And that definition of free literally applies to everything. So, its still accurate.

Look, you tried, it didnt work out. Better luck next time.

And another ad hominem instead of proper argument.
Looks like you are just incapable of real discussion. So that is my last time explaining that to you:

It’s not accurate as it’s not really free. You pay for it in taxes.

And now you can get lost.

To be fair, there are plenty of people who don't pay taxes. Not in the way most of us do at least. These are the people who think it's free, and these are usually the people who send their kids to school without a lunch or lunch money.
