Sort of like how I say that drivers do not pay for the roads they use, even though everybody pays for the roads.
I'll just point you to the words I used in my post (highlighted above) ...
Touché. I need to read the actual words more carefully! Actually I think your post was a good one — you summarized some of the different taxes that students paid, and correctly pointed out that on average students pay little income tax. Mostly I wanted to highlight that the low income tax payment was not student-specific — but especially given my choice of words, I should have acknowledged that you yourself had referred to a tendency.
