Reparations

I support reparations for the suvivors of Jim Crow.

Think about this one: my mother lived through that period. At one point, all of the women in the family were maids. After the civil rights laws and after movement in the right direction because of the slowing of the racism inertia, the income started to go up.

Now she's retired and getting social security. But if she didn't have to go through the crap of Jim Crow and discrimination, the amount of money being received would be more than it is now.

I like the federal tax idea, though she wouldn't be helped much, I would.

Believe. Me. I. Would.
