You speak of the profiting from the events 9/11 and the outrage it has caused. The 911 Compensation Fund has paid out an average 1.7 to 2.1 million (based on which official report you read) to the victims of 911. The figures range from $250,000 to $6,800,000 per family. In addition to the 911 Compensation Fund of over 7 Billion, the world showed it's compassion by contributing over 3 billions more to numerous 911 funds. It's said that life is precious and by our own laws we are created equal. What respect was paid to the families of those that received $250,000 or even those that received 2 million in comparison to 6.8 million that was awarded. Why in their quest for respect, not demand all the funds be divided equally? Why is it that the "rich and powerful" again reap the higher awards? Is the family of a minimum wage worker with 2 children less important than a stock broker who makes $200,000 a year, bonus, stock incentives, and company life insurance high valued polices? Are these families aware the victims of the Oklahoma bombing victims received almost nothing! Do they know that almost 100 families from the Oklahoma bombing, which has been ten years now, are still financially devastated with little or no assistance? You speak of profiting and disrespect from someone selling an artifact of 911! I didn't know there was a value you can place on a "soul." What does the family of a miltary person that is killed in war receive? Something like $12,000 and half of it is taxed, what of their wives and childrens futures? A medal and a place in a memorial. You speak of "RESPECT."
> The money these families accepted was in a form of "hush money" not to seek the real truth of what happened that day. Why didn't they just except the billions that was donated by people all over the world and tell our government to keep their "hush money" and demand the real truth of 911 be uncovered! Instead of worrying about some guy selling a flag or a toy bus, why don't you use all that outrage and demand the truth. Better yet, show respect for each other, share all the funds equally, no matter what status they held in life. Then you can ask others to respect their wishes of not profiting from 911. How many families fought over their share of this money and what they felt they deserved? If I was a betting man, I'd bet there's more BMW's parked in their driveways, than flags flying on their houses! Remember 27,000 children strave to death EVERY single day in this world, isn't it ironic, millionaires were made from this terrible day of 911! Tell me everything I said is a "lie." You can't! Show me one person, of the 98% of the victims families who accepted the 911 Compensation Fund, who felt every human life lost that terrible morning, was beyond the sliding scale of the "Almightly Dollar." Can anyone of them that received the "higher" awards say their loved one was truly in the eyes of God more deserving than any other victim's family pain and sorrow and equally shared the award with the families of those that were given so much less! This was "hush money" to save the airlines, nothing more nothing less, the government has "Never" compensated any other act of terrorism in history! The new figures just released 36 billion in total 911 compensation, including donations, insurance policies, and government funds. The average award was 3.1 million and firefighter's 4.2 million only due to the over 500 million that was donated to the Firefighters Fund, now keep in mind some families received only $300,000.
