Re: Charging rape victims--Palin/Obama/Biden/McCain

Quote:
So if the family of a murder victim have insurance and agree to it, should they pay for the forensic work to find the murderer? That's just double taxation.
If somebody has some sort of weird insurance that would pay for the forensic work, why would one Not submit a claim to cover the costs? I suppose the victim's family might have some personal reason(s), and those should be respected, but it's essentially a waste of taxpayer money, premiums paid, or both to just dismiss that possibility out of hand.

It's only double taxation if the victim is Required to have the insurance and/or to submit the claim, whether we're talking murder or rape. So long as they have the option to not have such insurance and to not file if they do have it, there is no problem.
