Quote from noob_trad3r:
Yeah but you won't have to worry about pesky firefighter pensions, having to pay taxes etc..
You pay for what you want. IF you feel the odds of your home going up in flames are low, don't pay for an annual firefighter contractor package.
You can invest that money as you wish.
Or if you feel that its worth paying, you pay for it. You get choice.
And yes if you chose not to pay, and your house catches on fire no one should come out to fight the fire. You made the choice, you live with the outcome.
But like a previous poster asked, how would you deal with national defense? I mean if only some of us fund the military, then how can we selectively NOT protect the individuals who opted out?
