Tuesday, January 22, 2002 6:00 PM Don't give them any money Hello, I know this will sound "heartless", but I don't think ANY of our tax money should go to the families of the WTC tragedy. The WHOLE country was attacked, and suffered, although, not in the extreme way in which those few thousand were forced to suffer. However, to compensate their suffering, the American people have given to all the charities that were established for just this reason - to help them with what would be sure financial troubles ahead. For the families now to think somehow that we OWE them more than the billion + that was given freely from our hearts, through our TAX dollars, is ludicrous. Their complaining makes me very resentful toward the families because what was given freely is now not good enough. It certainly at least APPEARS that they are looking to get rich (and I'm being polite here). Please do not release ONE RED CENT of MY TAX dollars to these families. They have been given plenty through the goodness of the American people. To ask for more is nothing less than trying to capitalize on their horrendous losses. People's lives and situations change all the time; "breadwinners' are killed every day. No one is overcompensating those who lose their loved ones in car accidents, natural disasters, et al. Why should these people be treated any differently?
