You’re killing me (and all of us). Google ‘Seattle Restitution’, and you will be utterly amazed. When a victim of a crime suffers a loss, the town will takemoney from the taxpayers, who have nothing to do with person or the criminal or the crime, and pay it to the victim.
Do the liberals on this forum have any idea where all of this is heading. It means, of course, given the new definition of a citizen, that even illegal people in this country could receive such money.
@averagejoe1 saidI live in Seattle, and am supportive of this program. Wall Street may be soaring, but Main Street is suffering due to this virus. I believe in caring for those less fortunate than myself (because I used to be one of them) I'm sorry you don't feel this way.

@dood111 saidThe few extra pennies it costs me as a taxpayer each month is not worth fretting over. And it's not your tax money - so what do you care?

Wow .
Conservatives and their holier than thou Evangelical base never cease to amaze me how callous and mean spirited they are to the poor.
@mchill saidMcHiil, threads such as this are general discussions. Right, it (seattle treasury) has no money from me in it. But i’m not talkin bout ‘me’.
And it's not your tax money - so what do you care?
Then there’s this. What if seattle takes quasi-bankruptcy as time goes on? Fed govt steps in, gives money to seattle.....that would be my money in your coffers, would it not??
You are right on One thing, though. I cannot imagine concerning myself with someone losing something or being hurt due to casual irrational behavior, or whatever you wanna call it. You are truly an ultra liberal, ‘we are all one big family’. Would that mean that the guy who murdered and dismembered his wife is my ‘bro?? Where do you folls draw the line. Do you maybe Not Have any lines?
I vote no taxes be given to people involved in getting robbed or taken advantage of. I think they need to be responsible for themselves, and be prepared, like the Boy Scouts.
@cheesemaster saidYep, ....not to mention all the "hate crimes" that will start occurring...lotta dough in hurt feelings for hate crimes.
Exactly.
People will come up with scams and those libtards will fall for it!

What if? What if? What if? Another conspiracy theory begins to bloom.
You fail to take note of the fact that states that voted for Trump depend most on big government, so, please take a tiny peek in your own backyard before criticizing others.

@dood111 saidThis could be hypothetical city! I have a camera at my front door, my burgled nonchalant neighbor does not. Forensics shows the burglar came to my door first, saw camera, skulked on over to rob the neighbor. Should my taxes go to replace his TV and golf clubs?? I wish so much that a

liberal would chime in JUST ONCE, maybe Mchill in this case, and discuss the logic. Theirs or ours, just the logic.
@mchill saidMcHill, please. Trump? Why do y'all pepper your posts with Trump? And, What have states that voted for Trump got to do with this simple scenario, and hey, it is HAPPENING. In Seattle. What would your response be if I said it was happening in Mississippi? Wouldn't make any diff, would it.

@dood111 saidWe’re ok with the wider community coming to the aid of a victim of crime. You really should go snd live in an uninhabited wasteland where you will not have to even meet your fellow citizens.
So when someone gets mugged robbed raped YOU are OK with being forced to pay restitution to the victim?
Wow .
We have a similar scheme nation wide in the uk, given that it’s the police services job to protect citizens from criminal acts why would compensation for failure of that responsibility be so fretful for you.
