I always find this a little disturbing as a citizen. I know my taxes pay for it already, but then I have to pay again for it, and have no say in anything for it even though my taxes still pay for it.
Ah, just what I paid for as a taxpayer! Instead of having something freely available as a public good, the government can use it to generate a paltry amount of revenue....woo?
