This is why racial reparations will never be paid in the United States. Because I am a Democrat I wish this issue would go away. It is a guaranteed vote getter for the Republicans. The tax revolt, which began in California with the 1978 passing of Proposition 13, and which won election and re election for Ronald Reagan was a draft riot against the War on Poverty. By 1978 most whites did not want their tax money to be spent helping blacks. That has not changed.
For the record, I voted against Proposition 13, and against Ronald Reagan twice.
