Reparations
Common sense reparations should consider thousands of years of global history and the present day rationale for today’s taxpayers to have an obligation to determine: 1. if reparations are owed, 2. the amount, 3. to whom paid, 4. form of payment, 5. future benefit to recipients/taxpayers, 6. if reparations have already been paid ( Civil War deaths, 1964 Civil Rights Act, federal housing, food stamps, public schools, Affirmative Action, tax dollars). Item 3 should obviously be for the benefit of neighborhood/society (Individual compensation is irrational wasteful chaotic warfare. Imagine reparations due to Abraham Lincoln family.). The payment form should be in the common sense types of security: 1. neighborhood safety, 2. housing, 3. neighborhood schools, 4. neighborhood markets, 5. neighborhood credit/banks, 6____.
A state/nation common sense reparations demand designed win win goals.
