It is true that you arent purchasing an item that actually becomes your property.
But even in your example there is a lesson to be learned. First off lets not use a government service as government is not really responsible to the people it serves since there is usually no competition.
It is like you purchase technical support from a certain big box computer store and they tell you they will come to your house for an unlimited amount of time to fix your computer. Then suddenly they say, ah that wasn't really a sustainable plan. Now you have to bring your computer in and you only get 10 minutes of support each visit. That's ridiculous and if I had purchased the plan when they provided on site support I would sure as heck be demanding a refund on the plan if I didn't want to have to bring my computer to the store!

This is a good one. There is a change of service.
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
