Rep. Jasmine Crockett Democrat from Texas suggested that black people should be exempt from taxes. Is this fair?

[i]People who are all about exempting the rich melt down at the thought of any other non-white and/or non-rich group getting exempted[/i]

Here's who thought this is what went down: Fox News, and The National Review, and you.

In reality, this is not what happened. This was a "gab" session on a “The Black Lawyers Podcast” last week..

In response to some random thought, about Blacks be paid some sort of reparation through tax exemptions, she said that someone, somewhere, suggested that, and added:

““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 … that puts money back in your pocket,” Crockett told host J. Carter.

But they also discussed that this is not going to be help for a lot of black families, because they don't make enough money to qualify.

Not to mention that Texas does not have a state income tax.

Everyone has to pay taxes.

No, actually, she didn’t.

Here is the full interview:

If not mistaken Texas does not have a state tax. She wants to raise the issue, it would be with the Federal Government, and albeit she’s a democrat, she needs to understand that the Government WILL get their taxes. Perhaps she won’t file this year. Then see what happens.

Some people will try to get free money any way they can. Even if it’s through the burdening of others or at the expense of others.

Show me the whip marks on their backs and the scarring on their ankles and hands from the chains and the hard work, and then we will talk.

So not Americans any more then? Taxation obligations are even written into US passports. Citizens must pay.

Fairer. The entitlements that we all need to be fully social are the enemy of the capitalist class. They have decided to teach powerless Americans that we can't be a free social democracy. And we can't.

No, but neither is constantly cutting taxes on the Super Rich, yet the GOP keeps doing it, so...

Can you post your source for that?

Death and taxes are only two certainties in life.

What kind of taxes?

No, just no

No..

Maybe I should ask Crockett that as a descendant of Irish indentured servants if I can be included as well.
