MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO WTC SURVIVORS??? PREPOSTEROUS!!!

As a retired firefighter, I was aware of a federally funded $50,000 death benefit for my survivors in case of a line-of-duty death.

I am shocked and dismayed at the Federal governments million-dollar settlements for the families of vicitims of WTC.

The median income for a family in the U.S. is $42148 according to the 2000 census.

The average settlement of $1.6 million, tax free dollars for WTC survivors is outrageous, and unprecedented!

NEVER AGAIN will I send a private donation to those suffering disaster, as I did this time, along with millions of other caring Americans who did the same thing. Why should I, now that I know that the U.S. Government will make all the survivors millionaires?

Many unlucky Americans are left to endure killings in their families without Federal help.

This EXTRAORIDNARY one-time compensation is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!

Thanks,

Sincerely,
