Which part of the US do you live in that doesn't have natural disasters?

  The Mid-Atlantic. In my lifetime we've had one tornado that leveled the downtown of a small town - which the state took care of. Meanwhile Florida has had multiple "once in a lifetime" super hurricanes and numerous small hurricanes hit it. All these rich people want to move there - they don't it like here where the winters get bitter cold? Great! Let them pay for it. I'm sick and tired of their politics and I'm sick and tired of thousands and thousands of dollars of my tax money going to pay for their folly.

    Because you're sick of their politics they shouldn't get federal help? Geez. That seems pretty extreme. Forest fires in California, freezes in Texas, hurricanes in Florida, even hurricanes (Sandy) in the North East. Natural disasters happen in both (typically) democrat and republican states. Are you sick and tired of the government allowing us to eat fast food, smoke cigarettes, and drink alcohol too? After all a large percentage of your tax dollars are going towards medicare and health.

      You may recall several states from the South - all whom have received federal disaster aid - delayed the disaster aid funding for Super Storm Sandy. I wasn’t impacted by Sandy but I’ll never forget nor forgive what they did. To Hell with these people!
