I have to ask why the Federal government feels obligated to compensate the
911 victims? People die every day in this country from all sorts of things
and the government is not expected to compensate their families. Why is this
situation any different to the greiving families of family members lost to
accidents, murder, illness, etc.? Not only do I disagree with any Federal
payment using my tax dollars, but the amounts are outragious. No one needs
insurance or compensation payments to last them for the rest of their life.
The survivors could and should work sometime during their lifetime and many
will remarry and bring large sums of unearned government give away money with
them. People are responsible to provide their own life insurance for their
families. Help to those in need is one thing, but giving many people more
than a million dollars is stupid and unjustified in my opinion. When I die
my family will have to support themselves and settle for whatever insurance
and savings I provide on my own. The government will NOT provide any help to
them.
