CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 5, 2022
CALIFORNIA IS SO FAR LEFT IT SHOULD HAVE FALLEN INTO THE OCEAN BY NOW.
THE LATEST EVIDENCE IS A DECISION BY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOME AND A SO-CALLED REPARATIONS COMMITTEE TO GIVE OUT $223,200 PER PERSON TO ALL DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES IN THE STATE. THIS WILL BE TARGETED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FOR “HOUSING DISCRIMINATION.” TOTAL COST TO TAXPAYERS IS ESTIMATED AT $559 BILLION. IT WOULD BE THE NATION’S BIGGEST RESTITUTION EFFORT, TOPPING RECONSTRUCTION FOLLOWING THE CIVIL WAR.
I HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. WILL DNA TESTS BE USED TO VERIFY DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES? IF SUCH A PERSON IS WELL-OFF WOULD HE OR SHE GET THE MONEY ANYWAY? WHAT IF THEY ARE MENTALLY ILL, HOMELESS OR ADDICTED TO SUBSTANCES? WILL THEY ALSO GET THE MONEY? HOW WILL HOUSING DISCRIMINATION BE PROVED?
SCHOLARSHIP MONEY IS INCLUDED IN THIS GIVEAWAY. WILL THE DECENDANTS BE ALLOWED SCHOOL CHOICE, OR WILL THEY BE FORCED TO SPEND THE MONEY ON THE STATE’S CHOICE. PERPETUATING A SECULAR-PROGRESSIVE WORLDVIEW?
THIS IS VIRTUE SIGNALING AT ITS WORSE, BUT WHAT WE’VE COME TO EXPECT IN A ONE-PARTY STATE LIKE CALIFORNIA. I’M CAL THOMAS.
