SHOULD HOME OWNERS WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE IN AREAS OF HIGH RISK TO NATURAL DISASTERS BE FORCED TO PAY A TAX TO HELP DEFER THE COSTS INCURRED BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THOSE DISASTERS?

Some of the more amazing and beautiful places to live in the world are also located in some of the riskiest areas to live due the more frequent occurences of natural disasters.

The United States is a perfect example, with the beautiful Florida coast being subject to dangerous hurricanes, and the amazing California scenery always threatened by a variety of disasters, from earthquakes, to landslides, wildfires, and more.

Should there be a federal tax applied to those areas, a graduated tax based on the number and intensity of disaster related events, to help defray the costs that insurance and the government end up having to cover?

Yes, this would be a fair tax given the choice to live in such an area. 12
No, this tax would amount to a type of profiling, not a fair tax at all 0
