NO. The fire dept. wanted to make an example out of the old folks. That way fewer people will decide not to pay. Kinda like how mobsters run extortion rackets. Gee whiz, I wonder who set that fire in the first place? Don't look to hard or you might find out it was someone wearing a badge and boots. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 969583But this is typical of so many whiners in this country. They want government services but start screaming "socialism" when they have to pay. Local firefighters are not a part of "government" services. They are paid through state and local taxes. |

There were choices and the likes too. Yet, to me, it is un-American to watch a house burn down if you have a fire-truck on the scene. Budgets or not, that is an eye-for-an-eye and totally old-school. |

The property owner had a free choice to be part of the fire district or not. No unfair across the board tax, with perhaps 0.20 cents on the dollar reaching the fire department. This is exactly how it works where I live (rural america)- low taxes & you can choose to belong to the fire district or not. You can also choose to have a stone house with a metal roof & not feel the need to be part of the fire district. This is how the American fire departments were established 250 years ago, and still the best way to run them - Freedom of choice has responsability and consequence. |
