This doesn’t quite work because subscriptions are voluntary and taxes are anything but.

For non rich people I mean.

Taxes are the paid tier, if you want to live in the premium parts of the country. You can go with the free tier, but that’s prison.

Prison is more like getting your account suspended for not paying

Free tier is homeless.

But if you really grind you can do a decent off-grid build, it’s fun to play but still going to be a free tier experience of course.

Paying taxes is voluntary, filing isn’t. At least for the US.

My retirement plan: wait for the zombie apocalypse. No rent, no taxes, no cubicles.

Nah, its not free, all those years of time you lost with your parents while they worked was the trade as a child. Becoming a latch-key kid and the life-long childhood trauma of that is the trade.

I think being a latchkey kid is a lot better than having helicopter parents. And what fucking trauma are you talking about? Did you not make friends?

And just like paid subscriptions, all of the money (in the US, anyway) goes to the rich people in charge.
