Well, you have to expect to pay something for these modern conveniences or you’d never have them. My objection is that you are paying too much for them in terms of value received, Some of them are seriously overcharged for and you get very little in return. Then they expect an increase every year. Time to end some of this. Paychecks, regardless of where that money comes from,are just inadequate at times. That’s not even counting that you are possibly getting less & less for your money. Most people have probably noticed, too, that if you pay more for something (usually increased once a year) that other expenses follow suit with their increases.
so don’t pay it ... go run around and catch a few rabbits every day ... barehanded and barefoot ... and cook them over a campfire ...

Well... Don’t buy them! Nobody is putting a gun to your head!
Now, in the case of taxes...
