Yeah, but something like firefighting is really a communal resource.  At 
the very least, if I'm a rich guy who pays my share, and the 
firefighters let the house of the rich guy who lives next to me burn 
down because he doesn't even though they could have stopped it, that 
sends my own property value down and punishes me.
