Bob,

I'm curious, you refer to "my money" quite frequently, are you paying some sort of fee to the people affected by natural disasters that I'm not aware of?

What is government's role if not to attempt to provide for it's citizens?

If the homes that you refer to are or have been financed, then they are insured and the cost of the claims is paid thru premiums. Not a dime of which comes from you.

Are you saying that there should be some sort of intelligence test to determine if the victim of a disaster should receive assistance?

Not trying to pick a fight, I just keep seeing the same responses and it makes me curious.
