What are we going to do about it? Redistribute the wealth?

I hate that slogan/meme “redistribution of wealth”. Redistribution of wealth is exactly what any government is charged with doing. Our tax dollars go to all sorts of people - architects, doctors, police, scientists, teachers, the poor, the sick, etc. Republicans have done a staggeringly good job of coming up with slogans to villify every idea thought up by democrats. “Death panels” was another such meme.

I had no idea about this. This is the first time I have discussed the issue.

We know that what we did in the past was wrong. Any solution to fix the past wouldn’t affect the lives of those in the past. We shouldn’t fixate on it.

Were you opposed to reparations for Japanese Americans interred during WW2 ?

Obviously not. Why would you?
