Though I feel sorry for those whose property has been/will be destroyed by Katrina, I am equally outraged by President Bush and the entitlement mentality in this country which supports the notion that the federal government exists to provide "disaster relief".
FEMA, as well as any "aid" distributed by President Bush is socialism at its finest, and I oppose any and all attempts to use tax dollars for such purposes.
If it truly were in the best interest of Americans to help the people and businesses of New Orleans rebuild their damaged property, we would gladly pitch in and help.
But, for the federal government to march in and allocate tax dollars from my wallet into the wallets of other Americans is no less egregious that the Kelo v. New London decision.
I was in a disaster zone some 24 years ago. The people who were hit by it said the biggest disaster was FEMA itself.
