I don't know about you, but around here we pay taxes just for those
things. You are putting yourself in harms way every time your furnace
turns on, risk of fire, you know. You are putting yourself in
harms way
when you go outside and get your mail, you are always at some sort of
risk. So, again in these parts we pay taxes for fire departments,
emergency services and such.

Not the same. Intentionally putting oneself at undue risk is not
the same
as
everyday going-about-your-life risks. (Unless you're a whiny ****bag
"everyone should pay for my mistakes and welfare"
run-the-****ing-country-into-the-ground and
sue-everyone-that-has-any-money
Socialist, I guess)

Need a rescue because you were in an auto accident? Sure thing.
Need a rescue because you were going 110 mph trying to drag race or
outrun
the police? Not on my tax bill, pal.

Need a rescue because your pleasure boat ran aground or ran out of
gas?
No
problem.
Need a rescue because you ran through the "graveyard" around Tierra
Del
Forego during the stormy season while trying to set a world record?
Sure
thing- here's your itemized rescue bill.
You are intentionally putting yourself in harms way every time you get
in your car, go outside to get the mail, get on a plane, go to the
grocery store, plug something into a receptacle, anything.

OK but if you are injured and need help who pays?
1) If you are in a car accident you pay car insurance for just
such a
mishap. So in reality you pay.

EMS and fire services are payed by my tax obligations.

2) If you go outside to get the mail, slip, and fall you have home
owners insurance or medical insurance. So in reality you pay.

EMS and fire services are paid by my tax obligations.

3) If you slip and fall in the grocery store - well this is a little
tricky but either your insurance or their insurance will pay. If it is
their insurance - you pay because they charge you a little more on
the price
of food for their premiums.

EMS and fire services, again, are paid by my tax obligations.

guess again, you and your insurance company will be billed for EMS and
Fire Services.

Around here, they even bill for police response to car accidents if they
are not a resident of the municipality.


Detroit. Enough said.

In your county and city, you have to pay for both EMS and Fire Services.
enough said.

I don't have to guess. I live here, I've used both services, and I know
how OUR system works.

That must be why your state is in such great financial shape.

Yes, it's in quite good financial shape compared to most of the states
in the U.S. It was in better shape until we got Perdue as governor.
