      There’s no need to torture the definition. You are paying taxes, thus the services you’re getting are not free.

        Typically it is the city taxes that pay for libraries, sometimes state. therefore just purchases goods in a different city and live where the state doesn’t charge income tax and you avoid paying for the library, happy?

          Wut? It doesn’t matter what you do - you still pay taxes (unless you’re Bezos). Thus everything is paid by you in advance. Also, which shithole has different taxes between cities?

            city’s have different sales tax in America, I wouldn’t be surprised if one or two states force them to have the same, but most states allow cities to do whatever they want with sales tax.

                don’t worry, it can get more complicated, there are cities with different summer and winter taxes, different sales tax rates on different items, and sales tax limits per purchase.
