Don't give them any money
Hello,
I know this will sound "heartless", but I don't think ANY of our
tax money should go to the families of the WTC tragedy.
The WHOLE country was attacked, and suffered, although, not in
the extreme way in which those few thousand were forced to suffer.
However, to compensate their suffering, the American people have given
to all the charities that were established for just this reason - to
help them with what would be sure financial troubles ahead.
For the families now to think somehow that we OWE them more than
the billion + that was given freely from our hearts, through our TAX
dollars, is ludicrous. Their complaining makes me very resentful toward
the families because what was given freely is now not good enough. It
certainly at least APPEARS that they are looking to get rich (and I'm
being polite here).
Please do not release ONE RED CENT of MY TAX dollars to these
families. They have been given plenty through the goodness of the
American people. To ask for more is nothing less than trying to
capitalize on their horrendous losses. People's lives and situations
change all the time; "breadwinners' are killed every day. No one is
overcompensating those who lose their loved ones in car accidents,
natural disasters, et al. Why should these people be treated any
differently?
Thanks,
