[Tired of Taxes]

But, you also pay to watch TV (cable or satellite service), yet we're subjected to advertisements on TV, too. :-)

That's because commercials pay for TV shows to be made, it's the implicit agreement between me and the network that if I want to watch their show I also watch the messages from the companies that paid to get the show made and broadcast. Also there's plenty of commercial free TV out there. And finally commercials don't turn my TV on whenever they want to try to sell me something.
