i mean come on do you really think that just because someone doesn't want to pay taxes that he doesn't want his house to be protected from fires. Isn't it POSSIBLE that he might also donate some of his money to the local volunteer fire department? do you really think there is not one tax avoider on earth who does this? Tongue

Actually, the town I used to live in had a private fire department. No taxes went toward putting fires out at people's houses. And that fire department was rated one of the highest in the state for safety giving all home owners in town a lower rate on their home owner's insurance.

I will not explain here how they were paid because if given a bit of thought, people can come up with ways that government services can be paid for without force.

But just getting the money at the point of a gun is easiest and requires no thought.

How would you create a private fire department?
