"King George"? Do you mean President Bush?
Is you purpose on this forum to debate issues, or, just be a silly troll who belives they are being clever?

As a nation, I think it is a good thing we are big enough, and wealthy enough to aid our own in times of national disasters.
Is it your belief that we should leave those suffering from the effects of this disaster to fend for themselves?I would be interested in you explaining fully your position.
I like to see which celebrities are going to have concerts for these people. Is Queen Oprah going to help her people with all her millions? Are we going to witness Live Aid for the people of New Orleans?
Well, I think the government could argue that giving away all of our hard earned and easily confiscated tax dollars is outlined in the Constitution. It's in the Preamble, right after the part about providing for a common defense.
That being said, it chaps my butt that people live in these areas prone to frequent destruction, and don't insure for it, knowing they will be able to feed off the government tit when they lose everything. I do live in an area where we have to deal with the occasional tornado, and as a result, I pay an extra premium for insurance coverage in case I suffer a loss due to tornado. If these people aren't willing to pay for insurance coverage for hurricane destruction, then it shouldn't be my responsability to pay for them to rebuild their house.
If tax dollars are being spent to reconstruct and refurnish homes after these all too frequent hurricanes, then technically, those homes and their furnishings belong to taxpayers. This rules out the crawford hag, but to the rest of us, it should at least entitle us to timeshare privledges in any one of those homes.
Sarcasm aside, the government is way to generous when it comes to giving away tax dollars. Somebody in Washington needs to grow some cajones and say no to these people. If they can't be smart enough to buy insurance this time, then maybe they will learn the lesson and be properly insured when the next hurricane comes rolling through.
I'm debating the issue and illustrating my point with some satire.
It's your problem if you cannot have your ideas challenged or your opinion of President Bush questioned.
Either way, the issue has nothing to do with how wealthy we are as a nation, because as a matter of fact, the United States government is the biggest debtor in the world.
We have a negative net worth as a country, thanks to politicians like George Bush who think it is the role of government to redistribute the wealth of the people according to the tenets of Karl Marx.
