Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Friday, December 21, 2001 12:14 PM Equal compensation I was so angered when I saw informaton on Good Morning America that this Victim Compensation was in part based on the person's wages. I, luckily, have no one that I knew personally in all this tragedy. But my anger for those persons is real. On September 11th, there was no separation of pain or destruction depending on your salary. No one said "ok you have to suffer more because you made more money" EVERYONE died with the same pain, the same horror. Why should anyone be given more just because they made more during their day? That is the role of their employer-to furnish benefits related to their salary. It is the role of the government to assist those in need WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THEIR PAYSTUB !!! Those who made $200,000 would have many protections in place, such as life insurance(both personal and employer) and other employer benefits that are in correlation to the income. The person who made only $20,000 probably had minimal insurance and minimal other benefits(if any). If anything, those lower waged people will be harder hit with just trying to get by day to day--eating, paying for education, medical support, the basics......... The foundation of America is equality--in the face of the most horrible of horrible events, our government now says to it's people "We can help, show us a checkstub!" Whoever made this decision should hang their head in shame !!
