What Next?
This is far too out of control!! First I read about this government fund to
give survivors an average of $500,000 and now I read about making it all TAX
FREE! What next?
The phrase "Money can't buy happiness" must be very wrong. If you throw
enough at these people, I guess they might just be happy. And the nerve of
them to tell you that they need MORE.
If I get killed in an accident tomorrow, will you pay my wife these monies??
I rather doubt it. Did the people in the airliner that lost its tail over
New York get any funds? I haven't heard that they have yet and they
shouldn't - at least not taxpayer dollars. If the plane was faulty, then sue
the airlines.
Which seems to be what all this money is all about. If you accept the
settlement, then you can't sue. Who are you trying to protect? If the
airlines can't screen passengers correctly, then they should be sued and
probably go out of business. Let an efficient, well run airline take their
business. Are we now guaranteeing that these inept airlines can stay in
business? Next you will bail-out Enron.
Please, come to your senses. Anyones death, due to an accident, due to acts
of war, or whatever is tragic. The soldiers fighting in Afghanistan - some
have lost their lives - have families also. I'm sure they are now wondering
what to do. Are we going to pay them also? I hope NOT - other than their
military benefits.
Enough said.
