My fire department is SOCIALISM at work, and I HATE socialism..

Hello:

I dunno bout you, but in my town, fire protection was TAKEN OVER by the government..  Now, EVERYBODY is protected EVEN if they don't pay!!  Why should I, a tax paying American citizen, PAY to put out fires in houses owned by IRRESPONSIBLE people??

The free rider problem, one of the functional problems with socialism, is greatly reduced by the fact that everyone in a town needs protection from any one fire. I'll just paste the response I already gave:

Fire departments started in and still play the biggest role in urban environments, where failing to stop any one fire quickly becomes everyone's problem. Disposal of waste water is similarly everyone's problem.

Out in the country, people have their own septic tanks, and though they pay taxes like everyone else, no fire truck will reach them in time to save their home. If they could hire an effective private system, I'm sure they would. Instead they just have to be careful.

Side: Socialism SUCKS

Yes, that's a valid argument.

Capitalism only extends to a seemingly free market and enforcement of laws.

Anything beyond Minarchism is socialistic.
