This is so much crap I can't find a place to start so I'll try sarcasm. Mr. Raspberry and Mr. Jackson are among the first to cry that the poorest of Americans are paying the bulk of taxes. And, of course, they are quick to point out that the terrible white man has made sure that blacks remain at the bottom of the poor. Now, they come along with a suggestion of redirecting 95% of the taxes paid by these poorest of poor to their own self-interest groups. Based on their own twisted logic, would this not completely cripple the economy of the US and, consequently, the world?
The more I think about it, maybe reparations would not be such a bad idea. Here's my suggestion: Reparations can be paid to all who can prove they are descendents of slaves and who can prove they have suffered economically from that past injustice. The catch--as a condition of payment, the agrieved party will be repatriated to the country from which their anscestors were originally enslaved. The cost of such repatriation will, of course, be deducted from any reparation payment.
"Mr. Raspberry and Mr. Jackson are among the first to cry that the poorest of Americans are paying the bulk of taxes."...You forgot to mention that Mr Jackson for sure, and Mr Rasberry very probably, don't PAY their fair share of taxes.
