victims' fund
There are already programs in place to deal with victims of disasters. Why are these victims more special than ones who have experienced floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.?
If the Congress wishes to do something special, they can certainly do so on a personal level, but not by creating an additional tax burden for all of us.
If this should go ahead, will it also include the people who have and will give their lives in the Afganistan War?
If someone wants to sue the airlines or whomever, let them sue. It is not the role of the government to make the decision on their behalf.
