“Licensing: When government takes away your right to do something and sells it back to you”
“Licensing: When (the) government takes away your right to do something and (then) sells it back to you” is a saying that has been printed on many images.
“Licensing: when government takes away your right to do something and sells it back to you” (also shown on an image by Milonickels.com) was posted on Twitter by Andrei Pambuccian on December 20, 2014. This image probably originated the saying.
