Zero: What's a Military Family Worth?
What's a Military Family Worth?

I think the vast differences in compensation between the victims of the September 11th casualty, and those who die serving the country in uniform, are profound. No one is really talking about it either because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11th. Well, I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.
If you lost a family member in the September 11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.
If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people that are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11th families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.
You see where this is going, don't you?
Folks, this is part and parcel of over fifty years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad.

This is pretty disgusting IMO. Especially when you consider the life insurance money that supplements the million plus dollars they've already recieved. And to think that they are asking for more? I can't fucking believe it... These people were VICTIMS. They are NOT Martyrs. They are NOT Heroes. And while it sucks what happened to them, they surely don't deserve to be given millions of dollars and benefits over the men and women who willingly fight and die honorably for this country/flag/political aristocracy.
I'm not apologizing for this rant either. The fact that some of my hard-earned money has been taken by the government and given lavishly to these VictimS who never ever have to work again gives me the right to bitch.
