      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

          I was responding to the guy above me who said students and the elderly don’t pay taxes
