Greif Turning To Greed / Generosity Turning To Anger
$1.65 Million, Taxfree is more than adequate. Plus the resulting insurance
payouts and other donations that these families will receive is generous and
will substain them.
What would have happened or will happen to the rest of our citizens if these
attacks had continued or will continue in the future? Would / Will the
country be able to be so generous?
This was an act of war and was not due to anything done directley by the
people of our goverment.
What are the families of the soldiers that are maimed or killed in this
conflict going to receive? I fear not much.
What are the people that serve in the reserves that have been called up for
months of duty away from their familes and employment going to receive?
Each family should receive the exact same amount regardless of the number of
dependents. One lump sum.
Maybe we can be generous and help these people get on with their lives, but
we don't owe them a lifestyle of unquestioned wealth for the rest of their
lives.
I really question why should any parents receive any money from a tragedy
like this unless the children were contributing directly to their support.
Any payments should be for the support of dependents and spouses of the
victimns.
Most Americans can only dream about Big Jobs With Big Bucks on Wall Street.
Most Americans when tragedy strikes only receive the "well wishes of
friends," and then have to get on with their lives the best that they can.
Further, I hope the goverment does not allow vindictive survivors with
unbridled greif, hatred, and greed destroy the Airline Industry.
The attack of September 11, 2001 was an act of terrorism and war and should
be treated as such. I do feel for the survivors, because I am of an age now
where I have lost family members myself and know what a void is created in
ones life.
But, the American citizens do not owe them a life free from want and work.
Thank you.
