Taking care of folks who need it during a disaster, even if that includes spending tax money, is the kind of activity that separates us from animals. I am a very generous, compassionate and caring person. Many people here on SI know that for a fact (some just plain think that I am an ass, of course). I don't need taxes to force me to be generous in a time of need. And, ideologically, I would never presume to force someone to have be generous, compassionate or caring. I think that the mere fact that it is a forced action negates those characteristics anyway. What it tells me is that you are very generous with other people's money. No, it is not well-known that massive fraud took place in Northridge, though it wouldn't surprise me. Fraud is hard to prove; folklore doesn't require proof. Well, there were several prosecutions that I am personally aware of. But, don't take my word for it.... fff.org Whether it is paying for snowplowing in West Virginia or bombarding voters with unsolicited checks in North-ridge, California, (I know this to be true, btw) americanpatrol.com claimsguides.com gao.gov Some non-northridge fraud sun-sentinel.com slate.msn.com because you are uninformed, does not mean that it isn't well known outside of folklore, of course. try a google search on northridge earthquake fema fraud
