California Democrat proposes tax on gold, cotton, tobacco, and other 'slave' goods

California Democrat proposes tax on gold, cotton, tobacco, and other 'slave' goods to fund homes and schools for African Americans, in new twist on reparations
The tax focuses on the sale of goods linked to the transatlantic slave trade
Revenues would flow to a fund blacks could use to buy homes and education
A California Democrat wants to tax sales of gold, cotton, tobacco and other goods linked to slavery — and to divert the money to black residents, in the latest bid to turn reparations into reality.
The bill by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer is one of more than a dozen bills backed by the California Legislative Black Caucus seeking reparations for black Californians, especially the descendants of slaves.
They stem from a July 2023 report from the state Reparations Task Force, where Jones-Sawyer served as a member, and underscores efforts to turn controversial policies into a legally-binding compensation scheme.

Nothing more than blatant vote buying & forced redistribution of wealth with the added bonus of victimizing ignorant African Americans

Pimps, homeless people and all the brothers and sisters will have to pay more for goods. Nice representation

I’m assuming there will be an exception placed on menthol cigs, gold chains, gold dental implants, and sweat rags?

They already tax the hell out of these products. For example, precious metals :
This explains why Kalifornians travel out of state to acquire their gold bullion in 28 other states ……as they have done for for many years

The state tax (California) is 7.5% (which can be altered by local authorities) on bullion coins and bullion bars, and also on rare coins. Basically anything that falls under the umbrella of a precious metal is subject to this altered regional tax.

Didn’t they do this during reconstruction ? All after a horrendous war for denying states rights because the northern contingent of well off wanted access to the southern lands of fertile soil

I think it's a reasonable idea. As long as we can put a tax on black people for every item they purchase that was originally invented by a white person.

Can't imagine that paying people based on race will do much to fight racism.
This is why nobody takes the black caucus seriously.

White people never invented anything. They stole all of those ideas from people of color.
