With no property taxes, who do you call when a fire breaks out in your kitchen?
Do property owners buy personal firetrucks?
I would call the fire department who shows up in their brand new trucks, with police in their brand new SUV’s, and the police and fire department supervisors in their brand new vehicles. All of their vehicles, with 15,000 - 30,000 dollars worth of emergency light kits on them, can then be seen from space.
It is too bad we do not privatize services such as fire and police. It would be far less expensive.
It’s not the often-volunteer-based fire dept eating up our hard-earned money. It’s the schools. Who do you call when your kids break out in illiteracy and leftist propaganda? Can you call the tax office for a refund?
There are private Fire/EMS services in some parts of the country..like Rural Metro.

What happens if your private police want to arrest me for smoking a joint, but my private police insist that smoking a joint is legal and I can’t be arrested?
Do we each hire private judges to litigate the matter or do we engage in a duel?
Volunteer Fire Departments, they work in small towns. Hire just a few full time workers, and quit sending them out on ambulance runs.
