Hey bro, you want those power lines to your house? Hehehe, yeah we'll put them to your house with you fronting the bill. Good luck.
Oh, your house is on fire? Sorry, not enough people volunteered money to put it out. We'll put it out if you pay us directly though.
no one paying voluntarily is a societal problem IMHO. volunteering in general (time) is down across the board.
lets keep the fire department thing going... we write a check once a year to the local fire department (its volunteer) when they send out their mailer. but they also are VERY good at fund raising... events i voluntarily go to... cash party, bbq, raffles, bowling events (which none of you sons of 'itches come to for the charity i support with time and money), etc.
last year my little town raised enough funds to pay for their $900k equipment purchase.
