No, you're just using it to swindle the rest of us.

You could be said to be swindling people if you use a free bus pass by that
measure.
Or send your kids to "free" school.

Both acknowledged as being paid for out of taxation, and provided by the
state for the general good.

Swindling is illegal.
Swindling is done surrupticiously.
Don't you know the difference beween right and wrong?

Yes, but it appears you don't. Maybe you prefer the term "ripping off"?

"Legal" is not always the same as "right" or "moral", by the way.
Detention camps, for instance, might be legal but they are neither
morally good nor the right way to do things.

It's called subsidising.
Governments use subsidies to promote certain policies.
For example, nuclear power.
Coal mining.

When did they start subsidising coal mining again? Or, for that matter,
nuclear power?

You're not very clever are you?

Well, I'm not a smartass ripoff merchant, if that's what you mean. And I
don't have a degree like the Lootenant's.
