In U.S. Government I have a project to do about Government. We have to ask people in our community five questions about how they feel about government. I got three of them and I can not think of the other two to ask. Can you help me.

Do you vote?

What is your opinion on the healthcare system?

What do you think about the employment situation?

I think the vast differences in compensation between
victims of the September 11 casualty and those who
die serving our 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 11. Well, I 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 11 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 who are getting
an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are
complaining that it's not enough. Their deaths were
tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong
place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in
harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families
know the dangers.

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 11 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 50 years of entitlement
politics in this country. It's just really sad.
Every time a pay raise comes up for the military,
they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now
the green machine is in combat in the Middle East
while their families have to survive on food stamps
and live in low-rent housing. Make sense?

However, our own US Congress voted themselves a
raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to
be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is
more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal
to being millionaires plus. They do not receive
Social Security on retirement because they didn't
have to pay into the system.
If some of the military people stay in for 20 years
and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of
$1,000 per month, and the very people who placed
them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per
month.

I would like to see our elected officials pick up a
weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out
benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters
who are now fighting.
What is your opinion on this?

I think it's always a good idea to ask people how much they think the USA gives away in foreign aid (as a percentage of the budget). Dumb people invariably answer "25%" or even more, when really it's like 1%. That's interesting.

Another good question would be to ask people why they think there's a deficit, or ask them how much they think their tax cut was.

WHY CAN'T WE GET HELP WITH MEDICAL NEEDS? There are people out there totally suffering.
WHY IS IT A PERSON MAKING $11.00 AN HOUR and paying almost $1,000 a month in rent -- can barely survive especially when there is a teen driver on the car insurance but we MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY TO GET HELP? Why do people who don't want to work get help when others (like us working our butts off) get NOTHING? I have WAYYYYYYYY TOO MANY QUESTIONs.

Question 4. Do you think it's fair that US politicians have the " FED-MED" health program, paid for by the taxpayers, while the average citizen has NO medical or Dental health program to cover themselves .?

Question 5. Do you think it's fair that judges who release rapists or child molesters from prison are NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE if those prisoners once again rape or molest ?
