FIRE DPT WATCHES HOME BURN IN TENNESSEE

THINK YOU WANT SMALL GOVERNMENT AND LOWER TAXES--WELL HERE'S ONE VERY VALUABLE THING THAT TAXES PAY FOR: FIREFIGHTERS! If you aren't paying for them with taxes, they'll get you with a fee which this guy didn't pay so the fire dpt didn't lift a finger while his home and pets burnt up. Like everyone I hate paying taxes--...especially knowing how much of the $ goes to useless wars--but the income from taxes provides very valuable services. Sorry that this guy's home had to burn down to prove a point, but I think I'm safe in saying that this would horrify everyone.

FROM HUFFPO:

The event was dubbed "pay for spray" by Keith Olbermann. It's a chilling
vision of what could play out in a third world America, where paying
taxes isn't enough to cover basic services. Fire protection, it turns
out, is a privilege in some communities. On Monday's show, Olbermann railed against the larger implications the incident, calling it "a look now into the America envisioned by the tea party...just a preview of what would come in a kind of a la carte government."
