Greed is defined as "a rapacious desire for more than one needs or
deserves."
I'm sure that people are hurting and very angry because what happened is
not fair.
No amount of money can ever compensate for the loss of a loved one.
Families will never "be made whole" again and should not confuse the
unfairness of life with the rules of the victims fund. The airlines
should hardly be held liable for this type of terrorism that no one even
dreamed of.

To receive $1.6million tax free (whether from the fund, life insurance
proceeds or other source) seems like a pretty good effort on the part of
our government to provide for the victims families. Many high-salaried
people worked in the WTC and presumably would have had large insurance
policies. If the family has been provided for with life insurance, it
is fair that the government reduces the payment.
