This is how shitty people are made.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its declassified report finding that there has indeed, been gambling at Rick's Café Américain in Casablanca.
I have friends who have no problem registering to vote, obtaining a photo ID, and voting in person on election day. They support voter ID. They oppose same day registration, ballot collection, early voting, and mail in voting. They think it's the state that is at fault for sending them ballot requests for adult kids that moved out years ago. They aren"t buying into charges about voter suppression.
Same friends vehemently oppose any talk about reparations for slavery. Common arguments: Their ancestors did not own slaves, their tax dollars should not go to that. There are no living slaves or slaves owners. African Americans are better off here. Irish? Counter: Government uses tax revenue to finance many obligations that were incurred before we were born. How about Jim Crow? UghIndentured versus chattel slave
How do you factor in the costs of the Civil War to the North? In lives and $$$?
Some say the former Confederate states already effectively paid reparations for the monetary cost.
That's an interesting theory given the former Confederate states as a whole are net takers of Federal money.
