Are we really THIS capitalist?

[dalegg 143]

Come on now. I'm just as capitalist as anyone, but we cannot charge US citizens to get them out of a war zone!!!

(I seriously doubt they actually will, but it is the law)

Evactuations

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

I just heard about this on TV. Sounds like there is a ton of opposition to doing this from both sides of the aisle in Congress so I doubt it will happen.

Hrmm...mixed emotions on this one

Yes it is and if they can not pay at the time, they are given time to pay the government later. Why I do not want to pay for it do you? Someone has to pay for it. If you want to live in a dangerous place and then there is a problem the U.S. government is suppose to pay for it? Come on now?

Did we charge the people in New Orleans to evacuate them? If I am trapped under a bridge after the Earthquake hit's my home in California, are they going to charge me to get me out? Are you telling me the only thing I pay taxes for are things I don't like? I mean, I pay police so they can write me speeding tickets.

I think it's ludicrous and seriously hope enough flack is raised to make sure they don't have to pay.

That's a very good point, I must say....

They won't, sounds like Congress is throwing a hissy fit about this. One of those few times that our leeches in Congress actually do their jobs

Isn't that the same argument insurance companies use to get out of paying?

Given how sensitive to negative publicity the government is at present, I think its highly likely that this fee will be waived.

I believe there is a big difference from living in the U.S. or living abroad and specially if it a place that it is unstable in its economy, government, terrorist, and many other problems.

I do not want to get in a big debate about this. This is just my opinion and I am allowed to have one.

Let me ask you this..... would your answer be different if all of a sudden war broke out someplace in Europe?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Or Cuba?

Or Cuba?

If you lived in Cuba and there was I problem and the U.S. gets you out you should pay. There is a dictator ruling Cuba that does what ever he wants, the economy is unstable . Why we you put your family and your self in harms way and then want the U.S. government to have to pay for that, your stupidity.
