I don't think it's quite as simple as that. I don't buy into all the psychological mumbo-jumbo, but these people have at least some argument that their families were financially damaged. It would be good to put this all to rest, once and for all.
Ah, the "if only we threw enough gasoline on this fire, we'd be able to extinguish it" theory.
I guess that might make sense in a universe where "throwing money at 'problems' makes them go away", but in a reality-base in which you always get more of what you subsidize, the only think you'll "put to rest once and for all" is the idea of ever "paying enough" to "make up for the injustice!"
If 40 years of massive income redistribution ain't "enough", then nothing is gonna be "enough."
You don't put out fires by throwing gasoline at them. Even if you throw lots of it!
You don't cure an addict by giving him more of his drug-of-choice. Even if you give him a lot of it!
And you don't cure contrived "social ills" by ripping off one class of people to pay off another.
This "solution" is so pregnant with potential for "unintended consequences" that I am shocked that anyone (other than the hard left) would advocate it.
It's basically a slightly warmed-over Marxist class-warfare formula, and the goal? The same as is historically sought by Marxists.
