To Mr. Feinburg

Mr. Feinberg,

Keep up the good work, I know you have a very difficult job managing the victims fund.  Just want you to know where the public stands relating to the people that are not satisfied unless the get more money.  

I am sick and tired of the families that are not appreciative of what our government is trying to do.  Notice, I said our government... my tax dollars and your tax dollars.  Our money!.  I am not talking about all of the families, just the ones that appear on TV constantly with their "constant asking looking for more money".  Early on, the some people in the public came out and attacked some these people personally; calling them names and making personal attacks.  I am not going to call them names or make personal attacks.  However, I want these select people (they know who they are) how they really look to me, the average person.

These people that keep asking for more money always say, "it is not about the money."  OK, if that is the case...  Say no to the money and go away.  The way I see it... "IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY".  Other people in America lose family members to death daily.  The only difference is that most people cannot take advantage of the outrage and sympathy of the American people due to 9/11.  Example:  Take someone that is killed by a person driving an old Ford Escort, with the minimum insurance coverage and an income of $20,000.  Think about how much money will be received to loss, in a settlement or lawsuit.  Take this same example and change the car to a Mercedes and the income to $200,000.  Get it?

To get back to the 9/11 tragedy; replace the car with jumbo jets and the income with a multi-billion dollar airline industry. Get it?

The purpose of the government's relief package is not just for the "Families of 9/11."  But for the American Economy...  To give relief to the 20% drop in business affecting this very important transportation industry/sector.

Oh, by the way...  For those that are threatening to sue the government or airlines, think of who will sit on the jury.  It will be someone that feels the same way as I feel.  REMEMBER, it is my tax dollars.  The people affected by 9/11 are not just the "Families of 9/11', but America.  America, the people that work for the Airlines, Hotels, Restaurants,... etc.  Again, do you get it?
