You want them to buy 500 salt trucks for a once every 3 year event...
No, I want taxes slashed, and let the private sector use all that saved cash to do all the shit that the government obviously cant.
Atlanta wouldn't need to buy ice trucks. The private companies could move resources from other parts of the country that they own them to help.
Whereas with GOVERNMENT, you don't see the city of Detroit or Boston sending ice trucks to help Atlanta, because governments don't help ANYONE. They hurt their own cities, and refuse to help others.
Wal-Mart and Lowes and private construction companies are nation wide, even global, so they have resources and people everywhere. So, with the money they'd save from slashed taxes they could pool that money into a "Civic Response Fund" that would do the things government does, only FAR FAR better.

No it proves people are idiots. What kind of moron would go out knowing there is a storm about to come down on them?

Because their private sector employers, the people who are supposedly going to take care of this mess, force them to go into work. They don't care about their employees enough to keep them at home when the weather is bad but they'll go ahead and clear the roads for us.
At least the OP realized what a poor idea this was and abandoned the thread.
WTF is the other choice?
We pay money for our government to maintain roads, rock the roads and warn us of storms. So you're saying that our elected government shouldn't do these things? That we should put a unelected corporation into its place. WOW.

A hurricane. lol
Do you really think your private corporation is going to come to your aid after that storm?
Anyone watching this cluster mess in Atlanta? Oh, a little snow storm and it shuts down the whole city. Kids spending the night IN school buses. Thousands of abandoned cars on the highway, looking like a Walking Dead episode.
And the Atlanta government is helpless. The stupid police, lazy firemen, incompetent national guard, and idiot politicians, all making excuses.
Well, if they'd GET OUT OF THE WAY and stop taxing us, we could let the PRIVATE sector fix the mess. Corporations like Home Depot, Wal-Mart and dozens of private construction crews could have joined forces, prevented this mess, and fixed what little damage was done.
But OH NO, the mighy government steps in and says they'll protect us all, and fail of course.
Some construction crews from private business and supplies provided by Wal Mart, Lowes, etc, could've all had the preparation done BEFORE the storm, and then respond to problems as they occur.
Rand Paul is 100% right.
Government = FAILURE.
Who's gonna pay for it?
