1. But how many services can you pay for a la carte?
Paying for individual services would be impossible for most people. What if you had to pay an annual fee to animal control, on the off chance a rabid dog appears on your property this year, plus another fee for police protection, and another for ambulance services, and another for road upkeep? Collectivley it would add up to much more than you'd pay in taxes, plus you would succumb to fee fatigue, paying an animal control fee every year and never using it. You just need it all to be there.

5. Don't forget the added cost of administration...
...for all of those services. Each service would have to have its own billing department to track who has paid and who hasn't.

2. Welcome to the tea bagger's utopia that all these right wing pieces of
shit long for. If you can't pay for even the most basic of needs, fuck you. You die, you starve, your house burns. These bastards piss me off more every day. They were , every one of them, born without a heart or a functioning brain.

6. Taking the argument one step forward
Based upon the woman's defense of ala carte services then people should pay into the public education system for the same number of years they benefited from it and pay no more. But that is not going to happen.

7. One step away from a protection racket.
"Haven't paid your fire prevention fee, eh? Ok, that's your call. I'm just saying that's a nice house you've got there... it would be such a shame if something happened to it."

9. How did she get a job?
She doesn't understand economics, public policy, and insurance. Yet, she chatters on and blames the victim.
Wow.
