The very concept of pay as you go fire protection is laughable
You'd prefer that the Mayor instead says he's not offering any service AT ALL to the outlying areas with no fire department coverage?

You work out a deal with the county to ensure that ALL residents have fire coverage.
To let someones house burn down because they neglected to pay a $75 fee is cruelty to the extreme. Municipalities should not be playing "gotcha" games. Especially with public safety
theres the proof of what i said.....dam that did not take long....i have seen a few "liberals" who wanted to do the same thing.....especially to the 2nd.....
Oh jeez, another little twit who thinks he's a big man because he owns a gun!

just like a demonRat. won't pay for a service, wants the service, expects it for free, and expects conservatives to pay for their service. Thanks for posting basementdweller. It's typical of demonRat behavior.
You're exactly what is wrong with America. If you woulda read the fucking article, you would see he offered to pay if they would put the fire out.. But they basically said tough luck, and it wasn't until it spread to the neighbours (who has the "coverage") that they put it out.
What happened to helping people, and not worrying about cost or profit? Imagine if this had been the mayor of this town.. Gu-ran-tee they woulda put that fire out, regardless if he'd have payed the fee.
Yeah...much better they stand by and watch the home burn.....Right wing weinie roast anyone?
And again.. .the authority to do the action you suggest comes from where?? Where is the legislation that makes this possible and the constitutional (state or otherwise) muster that backs it up?
Unlike what you uber-lefties want, the government does not have unlimited power... it must be specifically assigned
Your bottom line position still is, if you can't afford basic public safety services, fuck you. What a sick position. Suppose it were a burning house, with a 90 year old woman trapped inside, who has to depend on Meals on Wheels? Is your position also let the person burn to death, since they couldn't afford this "dues"?
To what better purpose would you put a pile of strawmen?
S'mores are much tastier than the witch hunt victims you target.
Gotta love those Traditional Values....
A compassionate conservative would give the S'mores to the now homeless family.

Funny thing was, this was not like that case you just made up out of the blue... nice try at the smoke screen though
The fire department did not provide a service of fire extinguishing of a private residence that did not pay for services like everyone else, when there were no lives at stake (and don't give me that Animal Rights Nazi pets bullshit)... Lest you forget that this person had a history of not paying, this person was doing stupid shit, and that this person is ultimately responsible for their own personal needs for their property... they knew there was not taxpayer paid fire protection system in their portion of the county.. and they knew the protection of $75 was to be paid to provide it (at a much cheaper rate than what increased taxation would be to fund a fully operational firehouse in a lesser populated area with a smaller amount of taxpayers)...
This person rolled the dice and lost his bet on his personal property... nothing more

And conservatives are supposed to be Christian and charitable? Dipshits!

As stupid as it is for a resident to neglect to pay his $75 Fire Protection Bill, it is more stupid for a municipality not to add $75 to everyones tax bill to ensure everyone is safe.
To include fire protection as an "option" is libertarianism to the extreme.
To allow someones home to burn down over a $75 fee is bureaucracy run wild. To actually gloat over someone losing their home over $75 is even worse
Yeah, the last part is pretty sick.

Gotta love your refusal to acknowledge Repug responsibility for fucking up the economy and putting the country in a recession, whenever indoubt blame the government and the left when you Repug politicians are part of the government. If they hate government so much and lack trust for governmemt why don't they resign their government, tax payer funded jobs you asshat?

Nice leap and attempt to jump to change the subject and post baseless left extremist slogan points... no.. wait... it's not nice... it's an epic fail... typical for you

Nice of you to throw conservative moral values out of the window to rationalize unreasonable bullshit arguments.

Morality is your PERSONAL choice in action... just as charity is (which you can't seem to get through your lying head)... it is not something forced upon you by big mommy government

What you don't know is that person's ability to pay. As I said, $75 might seem like chump change to most, but for many it could be their monthly food allowance, or the difference between having their gas turned off, or doing without some needed medicine for a month.
It still comes down to whether critical emergency services should only be provided to those who can afford to pay for it. Your position, no matter how much you try to tap dance, is that if you can't afford it, fuck you.
