You got to love the way it's structured. If the exec had savings/life insurance, ect. to protect his family, they get very little. If the exec was living large, way in debt, totally irresponsible, they hit the government(taxpayer funded) lottery.

Bush sticking the taxpayer with this bailout of the airline industry was one of the final nails for me, time to support different politicians.

Unfortunately that kind of justice is par for the course. For example, hard-working families who scrimp and save to send their kids to college get turned down for financial assistance because they have assets and are deemed "not needy." That's all well and good. But then you have families who have been financially irresponsible, living well beyond their means, getting the flashy cars and clothes and running up credit cards until they are up to their ears in debt. Those people are the ones getting the grants and the financial assistance to get their kids into good colleges while many times, the responsible hard-working families have to settle for community colleges for their kids.

Getting back to the families of the WTC victims, we should just seize some Middle Eastern oil fields and pump oil until everything is paid for. The rebuilding of the WTC, the replacement of the wrecked airliners, the cost of sending troops over their to kick their ass and of course, damages for the victim's families. If we have to pump oil until the 22nd Century, so be it.
