Bizarre moment Texas Democrat calls for black people to be exempt from paying taxes during reparations talk... before saying poor ones don't anyway
2024-04-11
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Texas Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett called for black Americans to be exempt from paying taxes when asked about reparations for slavery.

The 43-year-old then went on to suggest it may not succeed because many poorer black people 'aren't really paying taxes in the first place'.
[Texas has no 'income tax'. They will be paying sales tax on everything they purchase. Stolen items are tax exempt.]
Crockett, a liberal freshman in the House who has called Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott's immigration policy 'insane' and that his new laws aim 'to kill people,' made the statement on 'The Black Lawyers Podcast' last week.

When the host axed asked her about reparations - often on many far left politicians and activists wish lists - she made the bizarre suggestion after hearing about the plan from a celebrity and thinking it 'I don't know that that's necessarily a bad idea'.

'One of the things they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because then again, that puts money back in your pocket,' Crockett explained.
