noise...the lower income normally doesn't pay taxes (or any taxes they 
do pay they get back at the end of the year)...

Yes, they are...I can totally understand being upset and drug way down 
after something as devastating as that..but sitting down on the ground 
and moping, saying and truly believing that there is no hope isn't going 
to help them re-build their lives...that where support comes in..this 
country needs to help them move on (when they're ready) not sit here and 
feed all the already rampant negativity in this country..

my country...yes, we have issues...major issues...but I'm not going to 
disrespect and degrade my country for it...
