Founder Astrus Posted October 6, 2010 Founder Share Posted October 6, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AGwRCCRLuQ -=CLICK Here for part 2.=- YOU SHOULD really watch part 2 where the guy explains how some firefighters were crying, as they followed orders, watching his house burn to the ground.Ya...Ive never heard of anything like this 'subscription based government' bullcrap, but it seems like this guys house wouldve been saved had the system in his area stayed on a system traditionally handled by taxation.I think this is a good example of what can happen when you ask for too small of a government. "'Government better stay out of my life' called today, and said that hes not going to put out your burning home. Buy your own fire department if you need one.!"These idiots have no idea what they are asking for, hopefully this story can help them see the light.

Wilv Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I wonder what it would be like if their police dept worked like that. Would the cops let someone get mugged or murdered if they didn't pay a protection fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnume Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Read about that yesterday as well...seems like the City thought it was running an Insurance Company to me. Simply unbelievable! The part where the Mayor said that they couldn't allow people to "pay on the spot because then people would only pay when their house was on fire"...well heck, then charge them on a per call basis or add a penalty for late payment...but you don't allow so much loss of property because they didn't pay such a small fee prior to the fire!

People are going to compare this to the coming health care changes. I bet any amount of money on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhiv Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Well, as far as the 'subscription based services', here's one for ya. If you require an ambulance to take you to the hospital in Hagerstown, MD (where I live) you have two options. Option one is to pay a $50 per annum fee and then you carry a card in your wallet/purse saying that you've paid that year's subscription. With the subscription you get unlimited rides in the ambulance to the hospital. Option two is to pay a $500 per ride fee, payable within a week of the ambulance ride. Seems the fire department in that area is using the same idea. I don't agree with it as those services are supposed to be paid with your local, county, and state taxes; but apparently that's not the case in that poor man's instance. Here's the yearly flyer I get: http://www.crs75.org/files/pdf/CommRescue-06.pdf Here's their website: http://www.crs75.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Shawkorrr Posted October 7, 2010 Executive Share Posted October 7, 2010 Now if there were people still in the house when they arrived, would they go in and put it out? Tards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmchardy Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Now if there were people still in the house when they arrived, would they go in and put it out? Tards. It's a 20 Year Old System, been like that for a while, Now they said the fire would not be put out. But I am sure if they needed to save a life some action would be taken. - I hope. As for the Upcoming Healthcare plan, It does not Refuse anyone service, quite the opposite, it is supposed to be organic enough to eventually cover everyone, regardless of health or Income, the only proviso being they are a Citizen or Resident Alien. Currently We have a system where people are turned away or denied insurance because of factors like , finances or age or pre existing health issues.

Currently We have a system where people are turned away or denied insurance because of factors like , finances or age or pre existing health issues. Remember What Martin Neimoller Wrote..... First They Came for the Communists . I said Nothing for I was not a Communist Then they came for the Trade Unions. I said Nothing For I was not a Trade Unionist......... Suffice it to say if you add today's outlook on the world the poem would continue thus... Then they came for the socialist, I said nothing for I was not a fan of Free Government I work for what I get... They came for the Muslims, and I did nothing, why should I , I am not a Muslim When they came for me, No one did anything, because there was no one left to speak... How can we as a FREE nation, once leading and progressive not see the stagnation of our ideals the, back seat to all things relevant , but war and mindless entertainment. This does not bode well for our nation, our people , nor does it paint a confident picture of tomorrow for our progeny to inherit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, what I was referring to was the fact that people will want to pay when they get sick, and perhaps not while they are well, the same way this gentleman wanted to pay when his house was burning. It's a sad parallel, but one I know will be made by the GOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
