Monday, January 07, 2002 10:15 AM Re: September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 I am writing to comment on the rules for distributing funds to survivors of the victims of the September 11th attacks. I believe the money should be distributed equally. You cannot know how much someone would have made in the future or who would have changed jobs because of their personal initiative. Some people whose survivors would receive large amounts may have lost their high-paying jobs the next day, bumping them down to a lower-paying category. I am mostly opposed to this because I find it un-American. The Preamble to the Constitution states the commonly held belief that all men [persons] are created equal. Also, I don't feel that the proposed Rules are sufficiently wise or flexible to determine how much support was provided by wage earners. A single person, after all, can support parents who live in another state who rely on this support.
