The government owes me!!! The government owes me too for all the hardships my ancestors who I...

With inflation calculated, from what the government has stolen from me over the past 28 years for things I do not support at all, plus a little pain and suffering consolation I could colonize Jupiter, and make Elon Musk look like the wel-fare queen he is.

Well, you're paying "reparations" to corporations that claimed to have registered a profit loss in 2020, in the form of greedflation, I suppose that was convincing enough for you to keep voting Republican

Lack of generational wealth still affects people and so do the effects of redlining. The government should do something but not cash pay outs that would not be effective or helpful at all.

I identify as a millionaire.
And I feel the tax payer should make my bank account reflect my true inner self?

I will not stand this systematic oppression

Almost perfect. I assume you are also suing your parents for giving birth to you without your permission or any consultation...😷

I'm all for reparations for anyone who was a slave in 1865 and is still alive.

California was never a slave state to begin with, so I see no need for reparations.

I found a solution to the problem. Since my European ancestors took the land from my indigenous ancestors the only way I could be equitable is I took money from my left pocket and put it in my right pocket and called it even.

And just like that a couple of councilpersons in Colorado now want to impose a white business tax

The government owes me too for all the hardships my ancestors who I never met went through!

Yes. The systems that exploited your ancestors affect you today. We don't have equality of opportunity, we have opportunity based on birth. While true equality is impossible, the government can at least try to build a more level playing field.

Not unless you fit into their identity hierarchy.

I'm sure you think your thoughts are coherent. They are not.

I love how conservatives are getting all threatened over the thought of perhaps righting a historical wrong, even if it was symbolic.

Universal entitlements can stop the struggle and the inequality.
Nobody thinks Americans are avoiding entitlements for any good reasons. They're sadistic.
