Why did Dr. Phil replace the items that the wealthier families in california lost.?

hundreds of families in small towns in oklahoma lost their homes to wild fires, and couldnt afford insurance, much less afford to start over. why was it that Dr. Phil founf it necessary to replace the belongings of the more wealthy families in california. he has family in oklahoma!! i find it repulsive and hippicritical and i hope this message gets to him. There are people still getting by in trailor houses because they couldnt afford insurance and what did he do for the devistation on the gulf coast after hurricane katrina.

    I don't know if this is true, nor do I care what he does, but before you start griping about what other's have or haven't done, what about you??

    What have YOU done for OK or the gulf coast??

    I know I donated twice on the base here in Alabama to send to the other military families in Biloxi where the base was hit really hard. I also have donated MANY times for the soldiers fighting over in Iraq. And I'm sure I'll be donating again soon. My husband has already been 3 times and about to go a 4th in Sept. My husband has also participated with Habitat for Humanity building a house, one here in Alabama and one in Biloxi. One does not have to be rich to contribute. Time is a great help in many cases.

    Have a nice day =)

    I think Dr. Phil is misleading in that he's not really a doctor and makes things worse with people on his show! But I think Oprah is OK, I don't think you have a legitimate reason to hate her. And it's horrible to wish death on people!

    There are plenty of poor people in California did they show you a w-2 earnings statement for all the people he helped (I missed that part). There are also plenty of people still living in trailers who lost their homes in the wildfires. I guess it's true "No good deed goes unpunished" Angry much?

    He needs more weathy clients after the britney scandal. He mayb be doing it for a marketing scheme. But that is speculation.
