A friend's wife does taxes in the area and she told us that EP residents found out this week that the money's (often $10-15K) they received from NS for things like temporary housing, replacing contaminated personal items, etc. are taxable. Many had already filed tax returns believing they weren't taxable and just received 1099s and now have to file amended returns and probably pay additional taxes instead of getting refunds.

So, this is my take on how it works:
Eligible U.S. citizens purportedly elect representatives who create regulations to take the citizen's money so that unelected bureaucrats can take credit for giving some of the citizens' money back to the citizens.

Isn't that kinda close to the concept of a Ponzi scheme to buy votes for the unelected bureaucrats' purportedly elected boss?

By the way, here's something I read this morning:
Biden further urged Congress to pass bipartisan legislative reforms governing rail and freight safety standards and a tax provision ensuring that East Palestine residents are not taxed on any reimbursements they receive pursuant to the derailment. [Emphasis mine.]

On Saturday, a NS train derailed in Lehigh Valley, spilling diesel and plastic pellets into the nearby river. An early investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board reported that an eastbound Norfolk Southern train collided with a parked train on the same track. The derailed train was later struck by a westbound NS train. Local authorities said no injuries were reported, no evacuations were necessary and no hazardous material was a threat to the community.
