It's nearly free for me here because I pay next to nothing in taxes to the government - I get a lot of my income through private teaching so I just deduct everything that I can. This year I didn't pay anything in income tax because my employer paid too much back to the government (tax comes out of my paycheck right away here), and I deducted business expenses for my teaching.
Feels pretty good to get government services for free this year if I do say so myself
