This editor just wrote a VIP post Tuesday about reparations, and Rep. Cori Bush's demand last year was that the government (i.e., taxpayers) owe $14 trillion in reparations. Just take it out of the defense budget, she said.

Now we have the junior version of Bush, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who on "The Black Lawyers Podcast" suggested exempting blacks from paying taxes as a step toward reparations … but then she concludes that black people don't pay taxes, so they'd rather just get checks.

These people ran for national office and got elected.

Blacks don't pay taxes. And according to President Joe Biden, black entrepreneurs don't have lawyers and accountants like white entrepreneurs do.

For the checks, apparently.

Crockett is black, a lawyer, and a member of Congress who makes $174,000 a year but doesn't know any other black people who pay taxes. She has really set the bar low for her own race.
