As I have stated before, I am actually in favor of slavery reparations in the following form:

1). $5,000,000 tax free to every living person who was held as a slave in the United States while slavery was the law of the land.

2). $1,000,000 tax free to every direct biological offspring of a person who was held as a slave in the United States while slavery was the law of the land.

3). Nobody else gets a dime.

I think such a plan is imminently fair to former slaves and their children, and will not overly tax the treasury of the nation.

It is not fair to us who did not commit those acts. You don’t jail someone else for a crime someone else commiitted. This is complete lunacy. You are thinking you are dealing with reasonable people who can be satisfied. You’re not. If you give them anything they will be back at the feeding trough again just like a stray dog if you feed them. Have some common sense man.

I am actually NOT in favor of slavery reparations, but in the following form it might be justified:

1). $5,000,000 tax free to every living person who fought to free a slave in the United States while slavery was the law of the land.

2). $1,000,000 tax free to every direct biological offspring of a person who was fought to free a slave in the United States while slavery was the law of the land.

3). Nobody else gets a dime.

I think such a plan is imminently fair to those who fought to free slaves and their children, and will not overly tax the treasury of the nation.
