The Dead End of Reparations - Why it is a Very Bad Idea

[Curried Goats]

Much lower rates have never worked, anywhere they've been tried, but Bernie thinks
a top rate of 8% wouldn't cause anyone to move out of the country. Because he's an idiot.

It would raise much less than the "projections" and black people would still whine.

You are not owed money.

Yes, I am. And I'm going to get it too.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yes, I am. And I'm going to get it too.

You didn't get paid for work you did? LOL!

 

[Curried Goats]

Black American ancestors didn't.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Black American ancestors didn't.

Sadly, they're all dead now.

 

[Curried Goats]

Sadly, they're all dead now.

Their next of kin may be.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Their next of kin may be.

So what?

 

[Curried Goats]

So what?

Justice, in the form of reparations should be paid to their next of kin. That's a logical conclusion. Are you slow? Mentally, I mean.

They definitely need to go after the next of kin of the slave owners.
Let me know how that works out.

I think there's a better chance of convincing the majority that people who hold similar views to you are ignorant racists than to you do in making this the prevailing belief.

I am, indeed, a racist.

So are you.

So is every other human being on the face of the planet.

It's what we DO with that instinctive racism that separates the wheat from the chaff.

I bear no particular ill will towards non-White folk.

I do, however, make it a point to "take care of my own first", just like everyone else.

Where are you getting this information from? The link I presented showed how funding could be handled through a wealth tax or baby bonds. What's your source other than your imagination?

Rubbish. It's not happening. Ever.

It wasn't just slave owners who profited, the United States government did as well.

Well you're not doing a very good job of it are you by seceding your entire nation as it were to people your ancestors previously mistreated as demographic minorities. That's pretty stupid.

Rubbish. It's not happening. Ever.

Just like you'll never be demographically replaced.....

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

It wasn't just slave owners who profited, the United States government did as well.

How?

 

[Curried Goats]

How?

Through taxes, through trade and they helped enforce the violence and tyranny of slavery as well as being responsible for implementing segregationist policies that directly harmed Black Americans. The American government is a guilty party as guilty as any slave owner.

Which taxes?

Wake me up when your 13% becomes the majority...

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Maybe the illegal aliens will pony up?

 

[Soupnazi630]

Yes, I am. And I'm going to get it too.

No you are not and no you are not

I can state that as a certianty not one fucking dime will ever be paid and NONE is owed

 

[Orangecat]

Profit? The fed-gov is $31,000,000,000,000 in debt. Your reparations will be to pay your portion of that debt.

No it is not logical.

It is injustice.

DIstant relatives are not responsible for the crimes of their extended family.
