And expect emergency services to reply "Fend for yourself!" when you call them

Fire should be paid for with property tax.
Police and medical should be paid for by other taxes (probably also property tax but there are other solutions).[1]
None of them should be paid for by income tax.
I live in a state with no income tax that receives no federal funds (to the best of my knowledge) for fire and police yet I still have service... go figure...
[1] Oddly enough as against taxes as I am, I don't think someone should have to pay a month+ income to get an ambulance ride to the hospital but that is a whole other can of worms unrelated to this article.
