Tuesday, January 22, 2002 12:14 PM victims fund Hi, Just a word from a taxpayer about all of this money being paid to victims. The taxpayers are footing the bill for a disaster that occurred. Why are we just now paying people for this? We didn't pay for the bombing of the US Kohl, or the bombing of the trade center before, or the oklahoma city bombing, or any floods, tornados, or the earthquake in california so I'm confused as to why we are paying now. I thought people were supposed to be responsible and have life insurance and or put something aside for a rainy day. I'm not saying these people are not suffering but I do think they are getting money because they are the movers and shakers of wall street vs. the good ol boys from oklahoma. If anybody deserves anything its the fire fighters and police who willing risked their lives. But then what about the soldiers fighting right now-if they die do we pay their families 1.6 million? What happened to being responsible for decisions that you made. Is everybody entitled to a perfect life and if they don't get it then they can sue somebody? You've opened up a can of worms. Standby to ram - its going to be a mess.
