25. I'm on the fence on this one
In one way the tea party has been screaming less taxes. Well taxes pay for fire services and if the Tea Party had their way the future of our fire departments would yearly subscription and those who can't afford will watch their homes burn to the ground.

But on the other hand I don't think Fire Fighters should watch a home burn. I think it's bullshit. Their policy change should be simple - if you do not pay the $75 and need our service you will be billed $XXXX amount to have our department put out your fire.

Thankfully I'm in the city so I don't have to worry about these things right now.
