Libertarian sells out and calls fire department

[SpidermanTuba]

Hypocrite!

CHEYENNE, WY—After attempting to contain a living-room blaze started by a cigarette, card-carrying Libertarian Trent Jacobs reluctantly called the Cheyenne Fire Department Monday. "Although the community would do better to rely on an efficient, free-market fire-fighting service, the fact is that expensive, unnecessary public fire departments do exist," Jacobs said. "Also, my house was burning down." Jacobs did not offer to pay firefighters for their service.

I want free market police....

Is the best newspaper ever.

Who else reported on the universe's creation?

Sumerians Look On In Confusion As God Creates World | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

How can the Lame Stream Media ignore such an important event?

 

[uscitizen]

I am sure he paid all of the fire departments expenses incurred for fighting the fire?
And why would a Libertarian have fire insurance?

Idiot wingers should actually start looking at the source or maybe just the simple concept of whether it is REAL or not

Don't know what's funnier, the story or that they thought it was real . . . .

Why would a libertarian have insurance anyway?

How is it hypocritical to use a service you pay for? Lefties are weird.

They already have those. They are called security guards.

 

[JBeukema]

The security guards don't have the full authority of police.

We demand true free market law enforcement! And free-market juries! I should be able to hire whatever jury members I want when I'm charged with a crime.

Because all the folks who were responsible homeowners and didn't burn their houses down are having to pay their hard earned dollars to help this idiot put out his house fire. I dunno about you, but from where I come from, we call that WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION.

It would make far more sense to abolish fire departments and allow people to take personal responsibility and pay for their own free market fire service, either directly in cash as needed, or through a free market insurer.

The Onion...Funny.

I wonder if the moonbat collectivists hooting and snickering here have bothered to consider whether the mythical libertarian was given a choice as to whether he'd pay his taxes to support the fire department, or what other choice he had when calling for assistance.

 

[JBeukema]

Speaking of wealth distribution, why am I paying to pave the road in from of his house?

And who paid for his phone line?

He can go live in the mountains. He's free to live outside of the cities and towns.

or what other choice he had when calling for assistance.

He can call any other libertarian who wants to start a private firefighting service. Are you saying they don't exist? Are you saying that they can't compete in the market against the evil communist fire department?

You're paving the road in front of his house because he pays fuel and vehicle taxes, just like you.

Who paid for his phone line was the same company that held a gubmint enforced monopoly over the right-of-way granted for that line.

Any more silly questions?

Libertarians have some good sounding ideals.
Not practical or workable at all but good ideals.
