No Sympathy for Some BP Spill Victims

While I am all in favor of compensating those citizens of the gulf coast for lost wages, I have little or no sympathy for those who are now making claims for compensation but have no records to substantiate any of their claims. Or, if they do have records, they represent half of what they are claiming. These are folks who accepted pay or payments under the table and never declared the income or paid the taxes. I guess what goes around comes around. Whether it is a shrimp boat captain, a crew member of a local restauranteur, I just can't see compensating them when they themselves were cheating the system! Just my thoughts.
