Where's MY $2,000?

As most of my good readers I'm sure already know, the federal government is giving $2,000 to anyone who is a "victim" of the hurricane. Where's my $2,000?

What? I don't get $2,000? Why not? For those who may have been educated in the government-run education system, you may not realize this, but government generates ZERO cash. The ONLY possible way for government to get ANY money is to forcibly take it from it's people via taxes.

Therefore, if the government is giving away $2,000 to every "victim," they have to TAKE IT from me and you. Why?

Why I am being PUNISHED for NOT being flooded? That's what's happening here -- I am being forced to pay money to those who were hit by the flood. Folks, taking money from one person to give to another is NOT compassion, nor compassionate -- it's called THEFT, no matter who's doing it.

I need some cash -- if my pump backs up in the basement and it gets flooded, how much cash do YOU owe ME? Why should the people in the flood be any different?

Keep in mind, those on the left who are getting angry at me -- I'm not denying these people aid -- I'm saying that it is NOT the government's job to take from one person and give to another. PEOPLE will give more than the government ever can, if they're allow to.

If they are going to get cash and rebuilt houses for being in a flood, why in the world am I paying for auto insurance and house insurance? If the government "freely" replaces things that are destroyed, I don't need insurance, the government (YOU) will buy me a new one if a disaster happens, right?

That is utterly and totally wrong. There is no defense of this action. In case you missed it the first time, it is NOT compassionate, caring, nice, or anything else to take money from one group of people at gunpoint and give it to another, more "needy" group. That's simple theft. If it's not, send me your address and I'll be there later with a gun to take something you don't "need" and give it to someone else who *I* have decided needs it more.

1 I'm having issues here too... I understand everything was destroyed, but during Ivan, there were people throughout Pensacola and Alabama who ALSO lost everything. I don't think they got $2000. I think they had to beg for what they got.

2 I'm crunching numbers on this one, and it's not looking good...
