How in the world Mr. Fucknozzle can equate this to the Tea Party, I scratch my head at.

I used to live in rural Tennessee, won´t name the town, but, I had to pay a fee – the FD was volunteer. One hot-assed summer day, my neighbor decided he would burn his trash (there was a burn ban order in effect) and the wind was blowing like a bastard. Sure enough, me and 2 other people found ourselves beating the fuck out of the dry,tall, broomstraw between my property and his while waiting for the ¨local¨ VFD – about ten miles away (hoses wouldn´t reach and contrary to the cowboy movies, buckets were useless). Well, they showed up in fairly good order but as soon as they pulled the pumper to the edge of the field, it broke down and wouldn´t pump a drop and couldn´t drive away. At least we had 4 more hands beating that field with blankets and shit-the pumper almost got caught. Another company from a town about 18 miles further away finally showed up and saved our sorry half dead asses. Everybody had beers afterward while waiting on the tow truck. I don´t remember how much it was, but the next day, the town fathers fined the living shit out of my neighbor. BTW, my VFD, the year before, was the same VFD that set an old, falling down shed on fire on the edge of town for ¨practice¨. Burned the church to the ground.

right so this asshole has a history of NOT paying this cost. so yeah, if they are gonna do it anyway then why would he pay?????
