Freshman Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested that black Americans should be exempt from paying taxes as a form of reparations but then said it might not work because of the black people who are “not paying taxes in the first place.”

Crockett, who recently made headlines for perpetuating the debunked myth that U.S. border patrol officers “whipped” Haitian migrants, was giving an interview on “The Black Lawyers Podcast” when she brought up the idea.

“I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity,” the progressive congresswoman recalled to host Jehan “J” Carter of the proposal she saw — apparently from an unnamed famous person.

Most pay $663, then get job credits, plus 35% are on welfare or food stamps or Medicaid or all three.

They are, as a group, a massive tax burden.

You have to havea job first. Welfare benefits aren’t taxed to begin with.

What about the Earned Income tax credit that gives thousands away to folks with, or without chitlins, that may have a low paying job?

Correct.

56 percent of African American households pay no income taxes and make up 35% of welfare recipients (at a population of 17%).

They are a net tax burden.

IMO——THE “REPARATIONS” totals were paid since 19/60’s when WELFARE took over supporting the BLACKS.

All the BLACKS who have lived on welfare-—were NOT ‘descendants ‘ of slaves-—THEY all got decades of support.

NOT ONE PENNY MORE...

A few years back, a CPA did a calculation & said that a black woman with 3 kids got OVER $56,000 in support.

This was WAAAAAAY before BIDENOMICS
