The damned government needs to not concern itself with payouts to people doing the right thing. Ustwo, why on earth would anyone expect, or should anyone get, financial compensation for helping their fellow countrymen? That's absolutely un-American on every facet! I feel ashamed to even have a thought like that in this thread. No, I don't think they should get any compensation. I don't think the airlines that ferried the survivors across the country should. I don't think the airports that moved them about should. I don't think the other major cities that took them in should. Oh wait... nobody else IS getting anything. Crazy! Here in Phoenix, well to do people are donating WHOLE HOUSES for people to live in while they get back on their feet. They sure as hell aren't getting reimbursed. Chances are they won't even get a tax break becuase it isn't a donation to an eligible 501(c)(3) organization. Wow, the horrors that be when people do good things for the sake of doing them. If I give a bum a dollar to buy a McMuffin, I don't expect the goverment to reimburse me. It's no different. Charity is charity is charity.
