I support the federal 20 billion aid package but that is it.

I don't.

Someone on FreeRepublic said it best: The federal government has robbed the American people of a chance to show their generosity and charity.

It is NOT the government's job (federal, state, or local) to take money from its citizens and redistribute as it sees fit.

I am heartbroken over this tragedy and have contributed and will continue to contribute in ways that I can. However, it doesn't change the fact that the government should not be a money-redistribution machine.

If there was a democrat in the governor's office, would we be giving away even more aid? Maybe pay all the families' vet bills as they won't be able to take care of their cats and dogs?
