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
For fuck sake…
Americans - you’re beeing owned by cooporations , not political parties.
Well, the corporations own the political parties, soooo…
As an anarchist: I must agree.
For someone who doesn’t pay taxes, like students and the elderly. It definitely is free.

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
