With a reparations settlement in hand...show me why affirmative action, aid to dependent children, public housing, welfare, etc are any longer required. You know, that's almost a convincing argument to lose the court case. Think about it -- if reparations are paid, then the pain would be experienced now. All of the liberal social programs should immediately be abolished, which then would enable the government to further reduce our tax burden and take the pressure off of our children to support the impending implosions of Social Security and Medicaid.
Hmmmmm. I still can't bring myself to thinking that this reparations issue is anything but a horrible stupid idea though.
This is another way to create division and ill will. This is another needle in the heart for race relations. It is meant to shakedown big business, create bad feelings, enrich lawyer pretenders and make the young minority citizens angry. This is a shakedown. Where is Jesse Jackson these days? One may note the young affluent looking minority lawyers filing the lawsuit are probaly all Democrats or followers of Gus Hall.
