We Asked Every California Congressional Democrat If They Support Their State’s Reparation

We Asked Every California Congressional Democrat If They Support Their State’s Reparation Plan. Here’s What They Said
The Daily Caller News Foundation asked every Democratic member of Congress from California if they supported their state’s ambitious reparations plan, finding that just two would go on the record regarding the proposal.
California’s Reparations Task Force voted Saturday to send a plan to the legislature that would, if approved, pay out $800 billion in reparations to black citizens. Despite numerous attempts to contact members, only one Democrat in California’s Congressional delegation, which numbers 42 members, responded to inquiries.
The office of Democratic Rep. Mark DeSaulnier deferred to Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee’s opinions when contacted by the DCNF.
“We think checking in with our neighbor Rep. Lee would be best given her work on this issue,” Mairead Glowacki, a spokesperson for DeSaulnier, who represents California’s 10th Congressional District, covering Concord and San Ramon, told the DCNF.
Lee, who represents Oakland in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a former Congressional Black Caucus chair, has expressed support for the plan, which would see eligible black Californians receive up to $1.2 million in payments, on average. These include a housing discrimination payment of $148,099, a mass incarceration payment of $115,260 and an annual yearly payment of $13,619 for health care disparities, assuming an average lifespan of 71 years, according to the recommendations.
“Reparations are not a luxury for our people, but a human right long overdue for millions of Americans,” Lee said at the Task Force’s meeting on Saturday

Republicans should be running a counter-op encouraging this in liberal states. They should covertly be pushing Democrats to cross this threshold and finally vote in the issue.

REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION: would all of these payments, if implemented, be tax free locally, statewide and federally or will they be taxed accordingly as income???

Since the DNCIA decided they're not going to validate any primary candidates against Biden, Newsom can do this without having to worry about the Black vote in 2024. They'll forget by 2028.

The Feds would just bail them out and we would all end up paying for it.
Always take the position of killing crazy in the crib.
