The Native Americans get the land.
Black people can have tax breaks for their businesses.
Then we enact a 59% inheritance tax across the board.

As a desendant of a 'broken' people, he seems to have done well over his acting career to owe a million in back taxes??
That's what I was thinking ... what kind of income does he have to owe a million in taxes. Geeeze. Hey I"m Irish and English and my ancestors were slaves for sure at some point. Do I get anything and if so from who? I wanna' know! Do I sue the descendants of Vikings or what??

Then we also have to give California and Texas back to Mexico.

My Czech grandparents on my father's side, from Czechoslovakia, are commonly referred to as Slavic or Slavs. These were the people that the Ancient Romans got their slaves from, in fact, Slav is the root of the word slave. I have Irish blood as well, there were slaves among that bunch too.
Then my mother's family's side has some southern slave owners. Matter of fact, her family brought over the first black slave couple to what would become the U.S., and many black people proudly trace their lineage to that first black family. Mom's family from James Town also poisoned an entire native American village during a treaty-signing ceremony, slaughtering all those who didn't drink the poisoned beverages.
So does my ancestral claim to being a victim of slavery cancel the slave ownership part? If so does the sin of genocide of an entire Native village follow me through the generations regardless? Mom's side is still only half of my heritage and only a few of those were "guilty" of slave ownership and the genocide thing, does that count? How many generations do I need to go to wash myself clean from the sins of my fathers? How many generations can I go and still claim to be a victim?
I don't think there is a lawyer who would take my case if it came to that.

My Native American family members tell me the history is they took their land from someone before white people showed up and they kept slaves. They are honest. You may not be.

Early Europeans enslaved each other as well. Slavery was pretty much a common fact of the world,...
