Can you imagine a neighbor who wouldn’t call 911 because the *government* would be footing the bill for it?
And of course, next time people want their house to be saved in the event of a fire, they’d better have paid into a private firefighting company.
Whenever they walk off their property, they’re on public streets. Perhaps we should require them to pay for the repaving of the road in front of their house while we’re at it.
I hope none of these people use bridges or public parks. That would be hypocritical indeed.
And don’t forget all the weather forecasting which uses information provided by the NWS. TO be sincere, people couldn’t depend on weather forecasts using information provided by the government since taxes are paying for that.
I wonder if their kids go to government public schools, or private or homeschool, on principle, of course.
Good comments.
That comment about the private firefighting company ticked off a memory. It actually happened that there was a story on FR about somewhere in the USA no public firefighting organization existed and everyone in the community was supposed to pay a yearly fee specifically for that service. Well, one unfortunate family did not pay for whatever reason and when their house caught on fire the firefighters showed up but refused to put out the fire. Neither would they accept payment on the spot!
I imagine that RC one really got his jollies if he read that story.
I imagine that RC one just rocks back and forth on his porch grousing about those freeloaders out there benefiting from HIS taxes. Must be hell to be him.
