So if I take 30% of your income by force, and give you back some of it, you would consider that free stuff?
If the return is greater than the 30% I gave up, I'd consider it a net gain.
For most people, a good education is worth more than 30% of their income. In your case, though, you're probably the only person I know that deserves a refund.
Someone who brackets the act of taxation as "taking it by force" will probably not understand how the bidding process for provisioning of public services would go, nor would they understand the service equivalent of buying in bulk.
I wouldn't continue trying to make him understand Tara. He's too thick for that.
