9/11 victim compensation
I am outraged by the proposed 9/11 victim compensation scheme. It is unamerican to discriminate, yet the proposed 9/11 victim compensation scheme does exactly that. For example, under the proposed scheme, , a man who lived his life ministering to others, a man who died administering last rites to a fallen firefighter, would have his life valued and compensated less then a fetus. For example, , an American hero who gave his life thawarting the hijackers plans to turn the plan he was on into a weapon, would have his life valued less then an illegal immigrant. I could go on with additional examples, but the point is it is an outrage for the US government to porpose a 9/11 victim compensation scheme that discriminates.
