Translation:

When someone says something is free -> "I will pay for that and you will owe me nothing"

When the government says something is free -> "I will hold a gun up to Bob's head and make him pay for that for you"

@freemo We already pay taxes anyway. From that point onwards it is basically free for us. :P

@trinsec Well not exactly. Generally people with more money pay more taxes and thus for the vast majority of people they are just stealing what they get from the rich.

@freemo You're just jealous because in the USA it's the vast majority of the rich people are just stealing what they get from the poor... :D

But the taxes get paid anyway, rich or poor. From _that point onwards_ it's 'basically' free. ;)

@trinsec Actually in the USA the rich tend to be taxed even more than int he Netherlands.
