Wow, what a low IQ buffoon. I propose we do a study to see how much actual “labor” has been performed by the “affected class” since 1967. I’m guessing there may actually be a deficit needing to be paid by (not to) this class.

They need to go ask someone else for the 157 years before our founding.

When they do that, they can then address "working for free" of the median wage earner today.

"A median wage earner in the United States works for approximately three to four months out of the year to pay federal, state, and local taxes."

This. First class tickets back to the motherland on the taxpayer dime. Plus we will give each one 5 years of the average salary in their country to help them with the move back home.

Hank Johnston. I think they're still looking for a more intelligent representative from his district to replace him. This was only in 2010 that he made that comment.

Give me 10 years and I’d have to think about it. I could live like a king in Ghana with an average Louisiana salary.

Yeah it doesn’t say much about that district they can’t find a person smart enough to know that Guam would never tip over.

I've given enough tax money(reparations) to black people. Never owned a slave in my life, but have paid in perpetuity like I have.

Admission... I have black fatigue
