Reparations 2.0: White-Owned Companies Pay Additional Taxes to Minority-Owned Companies

The push for reparations went from a sluggish creep a few years in the past to the full-steam-ahead tempo of as we speak, thanks partially to the homicide of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter motion. Whereas reparations have at all times stalled nationally, progressives have discovered a extra welcoming atmosphere for this ‘social justice’ concept domestically.

The newest plug for reparations comes from the Mile Excessive Metropolis’s very personal model of AOC – Metropolis Council Member Candi CdeBaca. The far-left council member is dealing with a decent reelection in a carefully watched Denver marketing campaign.

And what’s one of the best ways to purchase votes? Our previous pal OPM – Different Folks’s Cash.

Ms. CdeBaca didn’t disappoint final week throughout a candidate discussion board when she launched a brand new model of reparations.

Taxation Is Theft. Until…

In a candidate discussion board hosted by The Better Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance, the subject of reparations got here up.

We couldn’t start any dialog about reparations with out false claims about capitalism, so Ms. CdeBaca dropped this inaccurate description:

“Capitalism was constructed on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen assets, and a examine as we speak couldn’t undo the cumulative influence of generations of that stolen wealth in all these classes.”

So if flat-out reparations checks aren’t the reply, what’s it that Ms. CdeBaca proposes? A race-based tax initiative. 

“…amassing these additional taxes from white-led companies all around the metropolis and redistributing them to black and brown owned companies.”

Fascinatingly she proposed this racist concept shortly after she claimed taxation was theft, stating the present mannequin in what is called the 5 Factors space of Denver:

“…steals from the neighborhood by taxation.”

So taxation is theft except it’s used to redistribute cash from white folks to black folks? What’s going on, Denver?

A Purple Herring

In her try and attraction to the libertarians on the left by stating taxation is theft whereas additionally interesting to the minority vote in her district, Ms. CdeBaca betrays what her platform is basically about:

“I feel there’s a mannequin that might be redistributive.”

Redistributive is the essential phrase in that phrase and illuminates what Ms. CdeBaca believes. Backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, the council member doesn’t simply hate capitalism; she promotes communism.

Let’s take a look at a few of her earlier statements when she was first elected to her place in 2019:

“I don’t consider that our present financial system really works. Capitalism, by design, is extractive, and as a way to generate revenue in a capitalist system, one thing must be exploited.”

Fascinating, so what system can be higher, Candi?

“I consider in neighborhood possession of land, labor, assets, and distribution of these assets.”

And there it’s.

Oh, It Will get So A lot Higher

After her feedback that advocated for communism, Ms. CdeBaca obtained appreciable backlash, which is exactly the purpose of constructing such statements – to in-turn garner the eye that permits folks like her to push a story of victimhood and false self-righteousness.

Nevertheless, in an interview after the backlash, Ms. CdeBaca doubled down, correcting the claims that she is a communist:

“…you could possibly name me an anarchist.”

Anarchist? Since when do anarchists consider folks ought to pay extra taxes to a authorities they consider shouldn’t exist?

She went on to explain her model of anarchy as:

“Anarchy is about us not needing that imposed construction from anybody, and simply being cognizant and caring and compassionate sufficient to care for ourselves and our communities and one another with out anybody making it occur.” 

Honest sufficient. However then shouldn’t she be writing payments to abolish town authorities, as an alternative of… growing their income? Her means and ends appear to be at complete cross-purposes.

A Means To An Finish

The decision for reparations, both by blanket checks or by varied schemes like race-based taxes, is merely the inching of our nation from a democracy to a communist state. However, sadly, this concept is spreading, and we will thank our mates in California for that.

The California Reparations Process Pressure has just lately formally really useful that the state give $1.2 million to each qualifying black resident. Whether or not the state will push ahead with the proposal stays to be seen, however these small steps result in large leaps in coverage.

Democrat Congresswoman Barbara Lee applauded the advice, saying:

“Reparations are usually not solely morally justifiable, however they’ve the potential to handle longstanding racial disparities and inequalities.”

It isn’t morally justifiable to take cash away from individuals who by no means owned slaves to present to individuals who by no means have been slaves to restore the hurt achieved by slavery.

Ms. CdeBaca mentioned within the latest discussion board:

“Reparations’ aim shouldn’t be survival, it ought to be repairing the hurt, which is this whole economic system.”

The whole economic system?

No matter It Takes

I’m undecided what’s extra terrifying. That we’ve Individuals throughout this nation who preserve electing communists, or that no one appears to be calling these folks out for making no sense.

Ms. CdeBaca mentioned on the discussion board:

“Not all black folks on this metropolis are struggling to outlive, however each black particular person on this metropolis ought to profit from reparations or any program that’s aiming to do reparatory work.”

Acknowledging that black folks in her metropolis are doing properly, but concurrently saying they deserve reparations for the hurt they haven’t felt – brilliance.

When CdeBaca first got here to workplace, she promised that her ultimate of neighborhood possession can be her precedence, stating:

“…no matter that morphs into, I feel is what is going to serve neighborhood the most effective, and I’m excited to usher it in by any means needed.”

Whereas we in all probability received’t see the violent takeover of our nation, maybe this implies is worse. It’s covert, sluggish, and decided, and if we don’t concentrate…it is going to win.

If a non-black particular person in California identifies as African-American can he/she/they obtain the state’s proposed reparations of as much as $1.2 million? Asking for a pal…#Reparations pic.twitter.com/SnLxAMiD0L
