I agree with what you are saying. Let's make those evil corporations pay more taxes--that will show them. Let's make those greedy insurance companies pay more--that will show them. Let's sue doctors for big mal-practice claims--that will show them. Trouble is that all this socking it to all these businesses socks it to all of us in the end. What you end up with is higher prices, higher premiums, fewwer jobs, and less choice because people have been run out of business. I feel for those families at the mine but I don't have much respect for one woman I saw last night and one of the first things she says is that she's going to sue. How is that going to help? Everyone is looking for an opportunity to make a buck out of someone else's skin. That's the mentality we have today.
I saw that, but I gave her a little bit of slack because of what she just went through. It could well have been emotion. Of course, after all the lawyers watching have contacted her, she may be willing to go along with it. If she does, the mine will shut down.
