For my Libertarian friends

No, no that wasn't the problem at all.  When the homeowner signed up the private fire chief had a private contract in place with the owner of the private road.  Then the private fire chief had an affair with the private road owner's wife and the private road owner cancelled the private fire department's contract out of private spite.  The private fire chief couldn't afford to lose any private business because he had payments to make on new private fire engines so he never told anyone about the private problem.  

After he found out what happened the homeowner sued the private fire chief in a private court, but the private judge and the private fire chief are private golfing buddies so the homeowner is out of private luck since there is no private oversight to anything private and the only thing that matters anyway is profit and having the freedom to privately screw whomever you want for whatever private reason you may harbor.

Equality 7-2521 wrote: I think the important thing to note about the story is that the public fire department was nowhere to be found.

And anyway, why would there even be a public fire department in "Liber-Topia?"

Which means, if you had to take a percentage of your jar every month and give it to the government, you would be REALLY pissed off... 

But actually, they're already doing it. I bet that if you didn't have to pay any taxes, all that money would go straight to your liver...

40% of the population does not pay zero income tax, even after benefits and handouts
