"If the American taxpayer wasn't willing to go along with this, the American taxpayer should exercise his right to vote the bums out. The fact is, the overwhelming majority of taxpayers vote for the two major parties, despite KNOWING that the politicians in those two parties will send out the aid every time nature strikes. So, I don't see how the author can say that the government "forced" us to pay or "extorted" the money from us. We voted for it. Frankly, resort to hyperbole like that makes it hard to take any other part of the article - or the idea behind it - seriously. "

You don't realize that your congress critters are going to raise their pay from time to time? Really? I know they will, I voted for one of them anyway. I didn't even try to get him to promise not to. Maybe you didn't vote for one, or maybe you did get a promise from the one you voted for. Otherwise, you pretty much should have known what you were getting. This isn't exactly unexpected.
