| 16. We can call it the Bubba's Momma Benefit Package -- |
|
Forest Gump gave half his shrimp-fishing fortune to Bubba's Mama because it was the right thing to do. Bubba's Momma didn't have to cook or clean for anybody else ever again, she got to sit down and rest.
I am all in favor of this massive redistribution of our national wealth - we let the richest 10% of the country keep 25% of their material wealth and the rest goes to a big trust fund. We pay Katrina survivors 250,000 per family and we use the rest to fund schools, roads, pay down the national debt and pay for job-works programs that will get people out of military careers and into good-paying social service jobs.
A complete re-investment program.
We have more than enough wealth as a country to respectfully compensate Katrina survivors for their losses and to create the country we want to live in.
