Reparations Campaigners Have a New Proposal: No Tax for Black People

Shhh! Geniuses at work.

Calls for reparations for the legacy of slavery have become increasingly mainstream over the past decade, with elected lawmakers, including Rep. Jamaal Bowman, openly supporting the redistribution of public funds to one specific racial group. 

Last month, Bowman made the unusual suggestion of spending money "into existence" in order to fund multi-bilion dollar reparations packages. 

“When COVID was destroying us, we invested in the American people in a way that kept the economy afloat,” said Bowman. “The government can invest the same way in reparations without raising taxes on anyone. Where did the money come from? We spent it into existence.”
