I don't like his position, but it isn't reparations. Keep in mind, a lot of people are paying little or no taxes already. If this didn't include SS, which it should not include, and we are only talking about federal taxes, it's not a good idea, but it wouldn't keep me from voting for him if I could. Realistically, it would never pass Congress. The only way reparations will materialize is if the courts mandate it. On the likelihood of that happening, I couldn't even venture a guess.

I am not impressed with his position, but I do not think it matters.

Exactly. The "burden" on the treasury would be miniscule, while still making a moral statement.
