So what do you call the thousand of volunteer FFs? Working for nothing is certainly not the socialist way.Would they be venture capitalists?
Municipality pay for fire protection and paid for by property taxes, and donations.
I have stated several times that our socialist institutions are funded by capitalism. I believe you even gave me a green on that very statement.
I'll accept your apology if given but you're not much a man so I don't expect one.
I call them volunteers. Nothing wrong with that, very common in rural areas. My Father in-law is one but if a house caught fire up there it's likely to burn to the ground before the first drop of water hits it.
This isn't just firefighting. Policing, parks, education, health, roads...etc.
All funded by capitalism which it also benefits from.
Every western capitalist country has some form of socialism.
Has been discussed, where do you believe most of the fire depts. across Canada get their funding from? Local money or Fed. money?
You're not wrong there.... The dichotomy of a communist regime with among the purest capitalistic practices of any nation on the planet.
For a very limited part of the economy. The majority of the Chinese economy is government-commanded and/or heavily regulated, in a fashion that I do not think Adam Smith would regard as "capitalist."
Disincentives to pissing off the powers that be include a bullet in the back of the head.
This is what funds CPP, it's not contributions sitting in a bank or in bonds.

Where did the government get that money in the first place? And how do they expect to repay it?
