"The Act" and "The Fund"
As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts, our congress has passed
the captioned into law with their hearts. The overly generous "Fund" is
setting a precedent that will ultimately be another burden for the taxpayer.
A lesser amount would have been more appropriate.
But since it is done, it begs the question, "How can you place the dollar
value of John Doe's life above that of Jim Doe? Because he earned a higher
salary? I think not. Because he had a higher mortgage? I think not. Does your
Trust allow more of your estate to one child than another because of their
salary or insurance, or the lack of? I think not.
If you are bent on spending 6 billion or more of our money, do it fairly and
equally.
I cannot help but think of the Capitol policemen that were shot some time
ago. The serviceman that was recently killed overseas. Anyone that lost their
life innocently at the hands of others. How much of that 6 billion will go
their way? None, I suspect.
Thank you for this forum that has allowed me to write my thoughts. Good luck
as you proceed with this endeavor.
