Booker presses Congress to seize ‘historic opportunity’ on reparations for slaveryWhile this is another bad idea by Booker and the Democrats it is one that only Democrats should have to pay for. It is also a bad idea for blacks in this country, because it is another attempt by the Democrat party to lock them into dependency. It is a cynical vote-buying scheme that would trap blacks into another cycle of dependency just as the Trump economy is lifting them out of it. Even if only Democrats would have to fund the reparations it would still be a requirement that people who never owned slaves would have to compensate people who were never slaves.
