“Taxes are like a subscription to your country that you can’t cancel, no matter how bad the service gets”

“Taxes are like a subscription to your Country that you can’t cancel, no matter how bad the service gets” is a saying that was posted on Reddit—Showerthoughts on August 19, 2016, but has been deleted. The saying, however, still remains popular and has been printed on several images.

“Taxes are essentially just a yearly subscription to the country you live in” is a related saying.
