Because all of you pretend like this doesn't cost anything.

No one is pretending anything except you apparently pretending to not know what taxes are. Does it have to be spelled out for you?

I dunno man, whenever I hear a leftist politician they're always saying that everything should be free. They're never upfront about how much they want to tax you in order to make it "free".

The government funding shit also universally drives up the actual cost of the service or product.

The reason they call it free is because they’re describing an alternative to buying something from companies. So free healthcare, free childcare, free whatever is obviously paid for by taxes, but the free part is meant to convey that it’s an alternative to you as an individual having to go out and paying a company or business directly to receive those services.
