Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil

No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.

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
