"Paying through the nose..." (Phrase / Saying)...
ℹ️ "Paying through the nose":
█ paying much more than it is really worth to a person (as example. people forced to give a % of all earnings to government)
I think it's a lot like physically (my variation in picture with slightly different meaning);
█ like an animal attached by the nose and lead / heavily taxed for others to live off... by those who are not interested in leading properly and more interested in owning people / treating them like #animals!)
