Snicker. The fascists are at it again.

One more time -- your money is YOURS. The State steals some of this
money at gunpoint (they call it taxes).

If the State steals less money, or gives some of it back, that is NOT
a subsidy, but restitution.

Of course, for those stalin0ists that think all your $$$ you earn are
really property of the state, then yes, you can call it a subsidy in
that weird fashion ...
