Perfect example of what I said.
You think that's the norm and acceptable maddog, the rest of the world see it differently...but then they must be socialists or communists or 'expect free shit'...
Matt's a libertarian or an anarchist. I often agree with him. I do in this case too. The government shouldn't be enforcing civil cases like this with the police.
I'm trying to figure out how not paying for an ambulance ride would result in a civil judgement that would result in a court hearing. Wouldn't happen in Texas. They would just turn it over to a collection agency like any unpaid bills.
Maybe the ambulance company is considered a government entity and it's considered theft of government services?
You don't think the bill is the problem, just the way of collecting it?
Sums up the American mentality and the power of propaganda.
Yeah. Me and Matt (The libertarian you quoted, Google his fake last name for information on his positions) have issues with the state putting people in cages over any sort of unpaid bills.
But the government needs it's money.........
