Love him or hate him, he nailed this one right on the head....

"I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11
casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound....No one is
really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with
September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really
disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.
"If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an
average of $1,185,000....The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up
to $4.7 million...
"If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the
first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable....Next, you
get $1,750 for burial costs.....If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month
until you remarry or die....And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child
under 18....When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt...
"Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185
million, up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough....Their deaths were
tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time...
"Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their
families know the dangers....(Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by politicians and
commanding officers.)
"We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma
City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September
11 families are getting....In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the
embassies are now asking for compensation as well.....
"You see where this is going, don't you...? Folks, this is part and parcel of over
50 years of entitlement politics in this country....It's just really sad....Every time a pay
raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise....Now
the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive
on food stamps and live in low-rent housing....Make sense..?
"However, our own U.S. Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't
know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more
than $15,000 per month....
"If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7 (Master
Sargent) they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who
placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month....
"I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before
they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are
now fighting....
"When do we finally do something about this..?"

If this doesn't seem fair to you, it is time to forward this to as many people as you
can....How many people CAN YOU send this to?

IF YOU READ AND FORWARD ONLY 1 E-MAIL, make it this one.
