Taxpayers'Money

Please bear in mind that this is not money "dropping from trees," it is taxpayers' money.
This should not be a "gift" to the families of highly paid people. If someone worked for a financial firm and their family will be receiving several millions in insurance, they do not need taxpayers' help. This should be limited to people who NEED help. I am thinking of the cafeteria workers, janitors, police, etc., whose families may very well be destitute.
AND, something that has not been mentioned anywhere....What compensation is paid to the families of the REAL heroes, the servicemen/women killed in action?
One last thought. If I am walking in Central Park and am killed by a lightning bold, what compensation will the government provide to my family. I don't mean to be sarcastic, but, do you see the precedent that is being set. Thank for you time.
