Reply #61: So a county resident who doesn't pay city taxes

[WolverineDG]

didn't pay the $75 fee for fire protection from the city. You don't get something for nothing.

That's not a "libertarian utopia." Living in the county, he doesn't pay city taxes, which is what pays for the fire department (as well as police & other emergency services). I'm sure he knew he had to pay $75 to the city for fire protection, but didn't. Sorry he had to learn his lesson the hard way.

dg--lives in a city whose emergency services have to cover a very large county full of moochers who don't pay their fees either
