FIXED AMOUNT $500K for ALL
911 was a tragedy.
The victims deserve sympathy, tears and a memorial from the Fed Governemnt
. NO MORE.
America has already shown generosity via charitable contributions.
Why should the taxpayer to help the survivors live in luxury?
Thousands of people get unfairly killed every year (drunk driving accidents,
etc) - they don't get anything from the fed govt - why should these victims.
As long as you choose to waste taxpayers money on these survivors - I think
the amount paid should be FIXED per victim. That amount should be $500K
and $0 for fireman.
Why should a homemaker's life be less valued than an executive's life?
Why can't the poor benefit as much as the rich.
It is entirely likely that the well paid victims probably have great life
insurance benefits.
Fireman and police victims should get $0 - this is because the govt already
pays their salary for life (taxfree) and the DOJ has also promised a
contribution for them.
Thanks
