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. Monday, January 28, 2002 5:45 PM Victim Greed My response to the comment of &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , as reported in the Washington Post january 28,2002, that "what this is turning into is really ugly, and it's really shameful": the "really shameful" part of this debate is the victims' aggressive and arrogant insistence that U.S. taxpayers owe them huge amounts of money to compensate for their losses. I do not want my taxes used to pay any one of them anything. Every person who loses a loved one, whether by accident or disease, suffers emotionally, physically, and yes, often even financially, from the death. Victims of drunk drivers, victims of violent crime, victims of natural disasters, victims of domestic abuse, victims of train and plane accidents -- all suffer equally, yet they do not shrilly demand government support. The "families of September 11" have made victimhood a full-time occupation. They have even incorporated themselves to further play the sympathy card in an almost professional fund-raising effort to get public money over and above the extensive amounts raised through private donations. Their misplaced sense of entitlement is what is "really shameful".
