It is a tax plain and simple
It's not a tax, its just an insurance program that is about $24B in the hole. They can't just get rid of it now though. It's kinda of like the post office, imo. You have to have it but it can never be profitable.
ETA: If the Federal Flood was not available, I believe flood insurance would be even more expensive through private companies.

It is a tax to people who will never flood. I paid it to live in a place that will literally never flood. FEMA even thought my neighbor who appeared lower than me wouldn't flood.

People probably wouldn't live in flooding areas and force the taxpayers to pay for it via FEMA and subsidies.
