The Fallacy of Reparations

2 Side note - Maryland, along with Kentucky and Delaware were slave states that did not join the Confederacy and subsequently were not subject to the Emancipation Declaration. The slaves there were freed by the ratification of the 13th Amendment.

This entire grift can be ended by President Trump by issuing a pardon for all Americans for any crime alleged or real committed by their great grand parents or earlier.

3 With myself a great-grandson of an indentured family.

We had NOTHING to do with Slavery. In fact, my father legally claimed slave status in GA. when applying for a State Job. That was in the later 1970's after his 30 yr retirement from the Army, and got the job.

SO IF, Reparations can be forced on non-guilty innocent citizen taxpayers, where will it stop?

What next Reparations for the mentally ill Transgenders that were denied sex changes, or the children that had parents playing Social influencer in 20 years ?????

5 Creating another opportunity for money washing.
When what comes in (tax) is greater than what goes out (allocation).

6 Democrat grifters sowing national discord. Will the Black Caucus support returning funds overspent on Black Crime and over spending on the welfare net for Black Social Issues (per capita)? I thought not.

This will not end where they thought it would go.

7 So if they pass reparations, every democrat alive must be executed for the sin of their ancestors treason. Seems like a fair trade to me. No exceptions.
