Even if said person was well known for saying, "You guys are all suckers. We'll get the same service, without paying for it"?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow...191241763.html ..Tennessee family home burns while firefighters watch . .By Eric Pfeiffer .PostsRSS .By Eric Pfeiffer | The Sideshow – 23 hrs ago....EmailNew: Now the email button gives you a quick and easy way to start a conversation. Share104Print..... Vicky Bell's home after it was destroyed by a fire A Tennessee couple helplessly watched their home burn to the ground, along with all of their possessions, because they did not pay a $75 annual fee to the local fire department. Vicky Bell told the NBC affiliate WPSD-TV that she called 911 when her mobile home in Obion County caught fire. Firefighters arrived on the scene but as the fire raged, they simply stood by and did nothing. "In an emergency, the first thing you think of, 'Call 9-1-1," homeowner Bell said. However, Bell and her husband were forced to walk into the burning home in an attempt to retrieve their own belongings. "You could look out my mom's trailer and see the trucks sitting at a distance," Bell said. "We just wished we could've gotten more out." South Fulton Mayor David Crocker defended the fire department, saying that if firefighters responded to non-subscribers, no one would have an incentive to pay the fee. Residents in the city of South Fulton receive the service automatically, but it is not extended to those living in the greater county-wide area. "There's no way to go to every fire and keep up the manpower, the equipment, and just the funding for the fire department," Crocker said. The South Fulton policy produced precisely the same nightmare scenario last year, when homeowner Gene Cranick--who had likewise failed to pay the $75 annual fee for rural Obion County residents--saw his house engulfed by flames as South Fulton firefighter watched close by. That incident sparked a debate among conservative pundits over the limits of fee-for-service approaches to government. For his part, Mayor Crocker stressed that the city's firefighters will help people in danger, even those who haven't paid the fee. "After the last situation, I would hope that everybody would be well aware of the rural fire fees, this time," Crocker said.

$75.00 a year sounds like a pretty cheap insurance policy. You would think that after hearing about the first incident, they'd have ponied up (like Crocker said).

$6.25/mo is waaayyyyyy too much when you're on the hook for $65/mo from Rent-A-Center for your flat screen, $250/mo for your truck payment, and $25/mo for an iPad... Sheesh, priorities man... gotta live 'white trash rich' in my trailer... fuck fire protection.
