Democrats Are Looting Taxpayers With Their New “Reparations” Bill… Will the GOP Grow a Spine and Stop Them?

Daily Report USA

The most important government body in America right now isn’t Congress. It’s not the January 6 Committee. It might not even be the Supreme Court. In terms of shaping the future of America, and the fate of its people, the most important body in the country is a little-noticed group dubbed the “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, with a Special Consideration for African Americans Who are Descendants of Persons Enslaved in the United States.” For people who aren’t nominative masochists, it is better known as the California Reparations Task Force.

And this task force is dreaming big.

California might seem like an odd place to start looking for race-based reparations. California was a free state from the moment that it entered the Union in 1850. It desegregated schools years before Brown v. Board and it repealed Jim Crow laws well before many other states.

Nevertheless, a state that never had slaves is moving as quickly as it can to take money from people who never owned slaves to give it away to people who never were slaves. And the price tag is going to be steep.

$475,000 for every black Californian! For those wondering, with 2.25 million black Californians, that’s a total of at least $1.069 trillion. And they haven’t finished tallying yet! The number is going to get higher!

In six months, an official government body in California is going to officially recommend remaking the state’s entire governing apparatus in order to confiscate trillions of dollars from some residents of the state, in order to redistribute it to other residents, based on an ad-hoc calculation of long-ago harms.

When this final report is delivered, plenty of conservative news outlets will have a field day. They will bash it for the ratings and ridicule it as the latest excess of those crazy libs.

We want to emphasize something very important: Reparations are not throwaway cable news fodder. This isn’t a case of a few left-wingers coming up with a funny idea that the rest of the country can laugh at. Reparations are coming. Methodically, gradually, with stalls and setbacks. But still they come. And if patriots and conservatives don’t start thinking — right now — about how to stop them instead of just mocking them, it will be too late.

The idea of reparations for the descendants of American slaves has been cropping up for decades. In 2014, a few months before Michael Brown’s death, Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote a “Case for Reparations” in The Atlantic that went viral; NYU’s journalism school later named it the “Top Work of Journalism of the Decade.”

But since a certain counterfeiter’s fentanyl-fueled death on a Minneapolis street in 2020, reparations fever has broken out all over the country. Every day, the momentum builds.

In the well-off Chicago suburb of Evanston, reparations have been on the menu since 2020. The Evanston “Restorative Housing Program” seeks to compensate anyone deemed a victim of housing policies the city had from 1919 through 1969. Anyone who can prove him or herself to be the direct descendant of a black person who lived in Evanston during those years may apply to receive $25,000 from the city to spend on a mortgage, down payment, or improvements for a home in the city of Evanston.

In Asheville, North Carolina, the city council approved reparations for black residents in 2020, though implementation has been a challenge. Some consultant managed to pocket about $400,000 advising the city on how to spend. Nevertheless, the city (and surrounding Buncombe County) are forging ahead. The long-term plan isn’t to settle on a one-off reparations payout either, but instead to have an ongoing annual reparations bill in perpetuity.

On December 14, Boston’s City Council voted to create its own task force to investigate reparations for the city’s role in slavery, even though Massachusetts abolished slavery prior to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. That same day, the town of Greenbelt, Maryland announced its own 21-member reparations commission.

But it is in California that reparations fever is most advanced and most dangerous. Assembly Bill 3121’s task force is the one putting in the work to lend a fig leaf of ideological legitimacy to one of the largest wealth plunders in history.

This shift among Democrats hasn’t happened in a vacuum. As Democrats have lurched in favor of reparations, they have dragged Independents with them. Just four years ago, reparations were about as popular with independents as pancreatic cancer. Now, more than a third of independents support them:

Even Republicans, predictably, have let themselves be dragged as well, with nearly one-in-five now backing reparations.

Anyone who has been around the block of U.S. politics can now feel the knot in his stomach, the pit of dread as he realizes what is already inevitable. Having reached majority support among Democrats, it is just a matter of time before reparations support is mandatory for party members, as has already been the case with gay marriage, or transvestite mania, or de facto open borders with Mexico. And once that has happened, independents and conservatives will be dragged along. They will be menaced with threats of cancellation, or mollified with takes like “The Conservative Case for Reparations.
