If you live in Louisiana, you are already getting back more than the 20 percent you are paying in. Well, maybe not you personally, but as a state, we are.
I think thats the point.
These taxpayers have been putting into the system their whole lives. The one time they will actually need financial assistance in maybe their whole lives, it isnt there. Meanwhile, some people get assistance nonstop at the expense of said taxpayer.

Thank you... my fingers are getting tired.

So... over those years, have you not gotten any benefits form paying those taxes? None?
I think you have gotten a lot of benefit from paying taxes.
And again... I have no problem with people getting financial assistance. But be man enough to admit that it is a handout, and you are no better than anyone else who gets a handout.

It isn't fair, but you knew that already, or at least you should have known that. You know what else isn't fair? Your neighbor with $30k in structural damages has been paying his $450 annual flood insurance premiums every year and he likely won't see a penny from FEMA. Meanwhile, FEMA will "reward" your lack of prudent financial planning and accountability by paying for the repairs you need to your home up to $30k.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have insurance and be pissed about your handout than not have insurance at all, but let's be real. Do any of you genuinely want to trade places with someone who is getting this personal property grant money and has been a leech forever? Do you really believe their situation is a better deal than yours? If so, you're welcome to join them slumming it up.
