I had no idea Congress was keeping slaves!
Except Barney Frank, of course. We all knew about that...
I demand :-
Reparations from Italy for enslaving us in 55 BC .
Reparations from Denmark for overunning my village in the 10th Century .
Reparations from France for introducing our world famous feudal system in 1066 .
Last but not least , damages from the USA for turfing us out of your gaff in 1776* .
*A crate of that California wine , some East Coast beer , and the USA ladies’ soccer team will do , instead of sending me US taxpayer’s money .
