Victims Compensation Bill
I was married to a 26 year old beautiful woman, who had her whole life ahead
of her. She did what she was suppossed too, was a productive member of
society and paid her taxes.
One morning - 6 days before our 1st wedding anniversary, she was murdered by
terrorists.
Not only do I blame the terrorists, but I also blame the US Government from
not doing anything to stop this tragedy before it happened.
You were more than aware of the threats to our citizens, but did not release
this info.
My wife worked on the floor of tower 1 and this is something we
discussed on a weekly basis. She had a plan to evacuate and kept a gasmask
in her desk. If she was aware of the imposed threat, we would have gone on
vacation that week.
But because, you the US Government failed to inform us of said threat and
failed to protect its citizens from terrorism, my wife and 3000 others are
dead.
Then, i find out I am being forced to take a settlement from the GOVT,
because they are more interested in bailing out the airlines and saving
face. This totally disgusts me.
And the fact that most americans dont seem to understand, is that this is
not charity, but a bailout by the government so that airlines do not go
bankrupt.
Most americans feel that the amount of money is way to high. Let me tell
all you farmers out there, we are talking about people who made millions a
year. 1.65 million is not even a years salary, let alone more than most
people make in thier lifetime, as others have written to you.
My wifes potential was unlimited, but you are definately limiting the
respect I will show the government in the future.
Treat our families right. I will give back all the money , if the
government comes to me and admits its mistake and role in the death of my
wife.
May I not be mad forever. For everyones sake.
