Yes, I am covered by socialsim w/ regards to fire protection. Through not choice of my own.
And not dobut it costs me much much more than $75 week. Have to pay the union firemen and their bennies and retirement of course.
However, were I not, I can assure you I’d pay the $75 for the “insurance”.
If you don’t like the Fire Department you must really hate the Police Department and their Union, the Sanitation Department, and their’s ,and for that matter any of the Government sponsored entities that serve you.
A certain amount of Socialism is necessary I suppose since none of us live in the Wild West and are completely self-sufficient.
I am certainly no proponent of Socialism and would keep Government to a minimum, but there are certain service’s we cannot live without.
I said this was a bad system and it is.Something better should be worked out. No one should lose their home because they are too cheap or too poor to pay the $75 bucks.
By the way I would have paid it too.In fact I do donate more than that to my local Volunteers, but they still respond to many homes who do not donate.
