Denver Democratic Socialist councilwoman calls for white businesses to be taxed harder to pay reparations to black businesses: 'Capitalism was built on stolen land'

A Denver councilwoman has sparked fierce debate after suggesting that white-owned businesses pay additional tax, which would be given in reparations to the owners of minority-owned businesses.

Candi CdeBaca, a 37-year-old Democratic Socialist, told a business forum in Denver on Thursday that more needed to be done to provide reparations.

'Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labors, and stolen resources,' said CdeBaca, speaking at a forum at the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance.

I am looking forward to these people starving in the coming global famine they helped bring about with their Communist plots.

Too bad we have to starve with them.

I bet it happens in Churchill, Manitoba, where the polar bears migrate every year.

There’s no such thing as “Democratic Socialism”. Socialism is about the government controlling the economy. The public has no choice in the matter. The government runs the economy worse than the economy can run itself if left alone.

That’s one way to look at it.
my way is much more simplistic.
Magna carta at the height of the crusades.
Once we learned rights, liberty and freedom we learned we could own real property, thus the buying, selling and trading.
Then came intellectual property, ideas and inventions thus patent law.
With that came the explosion of more ideas, the development of sciences, chemistry maths and engineering.
Then add in a little more Christian philosophy due to Martin Luther creating the basis for the entrepreneur and capitalist.
All of this served as the building blocks for the industrial revolution.
Then Great Britain had children.
Australia, Canada and the USA
Gosh, those Christian nations account for four sevenths of the G7 nations. Now, let’s bring on some more crusader nations, France and Germany, now we’re up to six sevenths of the G7
Japan? Just a red herring to the story, however, the Christians lifted the out of WW2.

Nobody else on the planet did this or anything near comparable; not the Chinese, not the Indians, not the Russians, not the whole world of tribal Islamic pedophiles, nor another tribal group, the Africans

It would hurt small business, but not big business.

I would love to get my stepson and his wife’s opinion on this. They own a successful business they built from the ground up in Columbus,OH. They are also proud and loud bleeding heart liberals and would probably vote for someone like this. Probably have.

The whole point is to make blacks ungovernable and encourage anti-social behavior. It's not really to fix anything.

The councilwoman is being used by people who want us all dead (including blacks).

"This is what happens when the underclass is allowed a voice..."

Well stated, although I might change "is allowed a voice" to "seizes power". Now that I think of it ... here's my version ...

"This is what happens when Fight Club seizes power"

“that more needed to be done to provide reparations.”

(in my best Jesse Jackson accent) I see a ROLLING river of justice in Colorado. The once large Colorado plantations where slave labor labor fueled the large Colorado cotton and tobacco industries. I SEE JUSTICE for those descendants of enslaved Africans who worked the Colorado plantations.
I SEE JUSTICE NOOOWWW.

There was a basis for magna carta. English history and the freeholders among other things. Property private to individual small farmers had long been a fact. That did not pertain in the rest of Europe.
