Was the article really written for free or was it written with tax-payer funded government grants?

For the publisher it was written for free, yes. And the amount of founding increases with their fee.

I mean, ok, then, I, a taxpayer, want free access to the document I paid for.

Oh it was funded with tax/university money so that means a 3rd party private company, which had nothing to do at all with the funding/research, gets to profit from it gottcha.
