Fw: Unjust enrichment
Re: "public comment on a government program that will provide money to
the relatives of those who died or were injured in the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks."
The issue: should those who have already, or will be, compensated for
their loss through pensions; insurance; and, a most generous amount of
money received from charities? People all over the nation have already
given hundreds of millions of dollars 'generously' through charities for
the victims and survivors. They should not now be making the same
'contributions' through a government, taxpayer, giveaway program.
There will be many, many 'so-called' victims of the event who will reap
hundreds of thousands of dollars, many of whom may have not suffered a
loss at all. In any event, none of the recipients of America's
generosity should be 'enriched'; compensated commensurate with their loss
- yes. Even then, it is not the business of government to 'enrich' some
people at the expense of others, under the guise of 'charitable
compensation'!
We, here in Oklahoma, witnessed many people becoming 'rich' as a result
of the Murrah Federal Office bombing.
Thank you,
