    don't want to pay for it.

    In the survey, 54% opposed reparation schemes such as those being considered in California, St. Louis, Virginia’s Loudoun County, and on Capitol Hill. Some 38% expressed some support, including 60% of Democrats and 66% of black people.

    Asked more specifically if they wanted a plan that would require new taxes to cover checks to descendants, 63% were in opposition and 29% in support.

    So 9% want reparations but don't want to pay for 'em.

    I think the insane cal. commission proposal that Gavin pushed has put a real nail in the coffin on this topic. The cost is ridiculous.

    ScottW?

    Is it tax deductible, either as a charitable deduction or as a victim of criminal extortion?
