Just something to make you think |

Whether you like Rush Limbaugh or not, this is worth reading!
By Rush Limbaugh
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. Every time when 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. However our own U.S. Congress just voted themselves a raise, and 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 be millionaires plus. They also 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 you may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed you in harms way receive 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. "When do we finally do something about this ??"
If this doesn't seem fair to you, it is time to forward this to as many people as you can.

(User Info | Send a Message) | | there is a fundamental difference tho, there is implied risk in joining the army. as the CIA didn't see 9/11 coming, the legal system can hardly blame the victims of it for not doing so either. no one gives a shit about the pay of the army when there isn't a war, so i think mr limbaugh trying to make political capital out of this is not exactly altruistic. |

Much more than some office work comparitivly. This is because for a year everyone was donating strictly to the firefighters fund that was started. |

But you all missed the line i wanted you to see.
"Every time when 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. "
This is a sad truth for young solders that have a family to support. |

(User Info | Send a Message) http://v-12.net | | I agree wg, but it's the sad truth of a lot of jobs (teachers, etc..). That's just how it works. Being in the military doesn't make money, so it doesn't get money (the people don't anyway). |
