	Wednesday, September 14, 2005 Let the Government Do It That's the message hero-hater Ted Rall has for folks donating to charities. It's ridiculous, but people evidently need to be reminded that the United States is not only the world's wealthiest nation but the wealthiest society that has existed anywhere, ever. The U.S. government can easily pick up the tab for people inconvenienced by bad weather--if helping them is a priority. That goes double for Katrina, a disaster caused by the government's conscious decision to eliminate the $50 million pittance needed to improve New Orleans' levees. And: Cutting a check to the Red Cross isn't just a vote for irresponsible government. It's a drop in the bucket compared to what you'll end up paying for Katrina in increased taxes. You can almost hear Rall saying "Oh, yeah!" to the increased taxes part. - Pat, 7:55 AM 0 comments
