For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: should people who live in hurricane prone areas be required to pay an additional tax to cover the cost of potential damage to their property?
The question is obviously being raised concerning New Orleans for example where for the second time in three years a hurricane has caused damage that will require federal tax dollars to repair. Should such funds come from the federal coffers?
Should someone living in Peoria be required to fund reparations for hurricane damage in New Orleans? Or should folks that choose to live in areas below sea level be required to pay a special tax to cover the cost of protecting that area as well as repairing it when damage occurs?
