I understand that...I was speaking in the abstract. Why should taxpayers have to pay for your police/fire protection or pay for your ability to go a library and check out a book. You want to read...go to Barnes and Noble. You want fire protection, buy a hose. You want police protection, there are plenty of private security businesses that would be happy to take your money for their services.
That is a local and state responsibility. If I don't like the taxes I pay in a community I can move to another community. Seems that again you are arguing about something you don't know about. I sincerely hope the party of "NO" tells your state to drop dead with their bailout request. We do love having businesses move from California to TX. They all bring tax revenue with them as well as a lot of consumer spending.
