Proposal for 'white people tax'

[DigitalDrifter]

I know American Constitution says all people are equal. So I guess a taxation based on race would be not constitutional...

It would seem unconstitutional to me as well, but nothing would surprise me anymore.

"It’s irrefutable, white people are privileged. Recognition of this basic fact of life is not enough. It’s time to take action to level the economic playing field. At a time when PoC is still tremendously disadvantaged, despite the best efforts of affirmative action policies, something else must be done.

The Equality Tax
Current US tax policy fails to recognize the inherent economic disadvantages that PoC face on a daily basis. Racist employers, a disproportionate targeting of minorities by law enforcement, racial wage gaps, poor inner city schools; these all contribute to what is an undeniable reality for minorities. A reality that equates to an unfair economic disadvantage.

To even the playing field, the privileged should pay more. I don’t know how much more, but it must be more. Let’s start at 5% as if centuries of subjugation could ever be righted by such a minuscule percentage. Certainly, the privileged can stand to spare 5% with all of their economic advantages."

You cannot make this shit up.

I'm Sicilian, can I get some cash too, lol.

Oh no.

According to Mac, you and I have to pay double.

I'd like to run this through a Constitutional filter and see what comes out the other side.

Hopefully confetti.

That's a micro-aggression.
I need a safe space.

And a case of play doh.

I'm considered by the Native Alaskan's to be quasi supernatural in origin, I believe I qualify for the "self-identification" clause. All my friends will also attest that I'm either Vulcan or an Elf... Fuck white bread taxes, I should be on the endangered species list!

Is it any wonder the left is driving their clown car closer and closer to the edge of the cliff?
Guess they have some sort of sick twisted loser complex.

UPDATE (2/27): We have reached out to the author of this article. They have confirmed that if you were born white, but identify as a different race or otherkin, you would be void from paying the Equality Tax. You would just have to submit proof that this transformation is genuine.

What would a 5% Equality Tax Mean? ($151 Billion Dollars)
First, we have to do some math. According to USGovernmentRevenue.com, in the fiscal year 2017, the US government will bring in $3.64 trillion dollars from federal taxes.

According to TaxFoundation.org, white Americans pay 83% of the federal income tax.
