Iran should not have nuclear weapons. Full stop. The Iranian regime refuses to recognize the right to exist of other countries, and makes an annual habit of calling for the eradication of Israel using phrases like erase the zionists from geography, return Islamic lands to Palestinians, etc.

There is a reason President…

Especially since some leftists (even Jews) thought they could differentiate between “Jews” and “conservative government of Israel” by using “Zionists” as the buzzword without realizing A) the parties that have “Zionist” in their name in Israel are generally the moderates or even liberals, you want the Likud Party, B)…

It is the SJW way...

Seems quite fashionable these days to call for punching people in the face whenever they disagree with you.

This is why I don’t truck with BDS anymore. There are legitimate criticisms of Israel: but so much of the BDS and Palestinian Solidarity movement is tied up in crazy conspiracy theories and legitimate anti-semitism. It’s like the Republican Party: most don’t behave or believe like Donald Trump, but Trump still is the…

Because no one’s presented a ‘reparations’ package that makes any sense. Saying the word ‘reparations’ doesn’t make it happen. What would your reparations package look like?

Did you just suggest Iran use nuclear weapons against Israel? Did you just defend “extermination” of Palestinians by actually exterminating Israelis by Iran?

Reparations for slavery.

I think that’s because one of the real complexities of this issue is that there is some anti-semitism tied up in the anti-Israel movement. The problem with that, other than anti-semitism generally being bad, is that whatever percentage of it you want to peg it at does tend to delegitimize the valid points contained…

It’s not even that. Despite all the claims of wanting moderate politics on Israel-Palestine the idea of a middle ground is apparently a no-no.

You don’t get to decide what other people’s children deserve. That’s the point.

maybe but probably not. Depends on how leveraged the company currently is. Banks lend on hard assets, not on revenue. So they would require serious non leveraged assets.

Yeah you touched on one of the more dicey parts of reparations what do you do with people whose families came here after slavery ended. 

That’s because it’s virtually impossible for college students to fully understand the complexity of the conflict. Anyone who thinks it’s as simply as “colonial oppressor/indigenous victim” has no grasp of either history or nuance.

That still doesn’t address why the government should be entitled to that wealth. If I earned something and paid taxes on it why should I not be able to give that to whoever I want? The tax burden was paid when it was earned, I don’t see why the government then has any additional right to that wealth. It might not be…

Reparations now mean people like us paying black Americans because of slavery. My family never owned slaves, and were/are very poor, so why should I pay? And who exactly gets the money, black people who can trace their lineage to the US during slavery? What if they can’t, can they get money just because they are…

Serious question, how is it easily resolved?

I hate to admit it, but this guy is right. It’s double tax (assuming it was properly taxed the first time, which, anyone who worries about estate tax probably dodged a bit).

I always hear people wanting a higher estate tax but I don’t quite understand the logic behind it taking out any emotional argument. Someone has earned the money they have and have already paid taxes on said earnings. Now they die and all of a sudden the government should get more of it? In a country that espouses…

The biggest issue with the inheritance tax is the passing down of private businesses, not cash.
