Not being subsidised as much as everyone else != being taxed.

(AIUI, Essex County Council does subsidise TfL services, hence why the
Central Line is all in zone 6 - there's presumably some kind of
representation of ECC within TfL that goes on as a quid pro quo. If
your local authority doesn't, then why not vote for a candidate who
says they will?)
