| yes, meow, reparations are not only unnecessary but also just as immoral as the original harm in question (slavery). It is just plain wrong to force people to fork over money and take responsibility for something they did not cause, in fact something which happened before they were even born!
That said, it is just as immoral for our government to 'deficit spend'. We are paying for luxuries today with money out of the pockets of future taxpayers. Neat trick, huh? Talk about taxation without representation.... we are dooming our children to revolt and violent upheavel, they will definitely rebel when told, "just by the mere fact of being born, you inherit a debt from previous generations to support their extravagant lifestyle and social services - no, you get none of the benefits, just the costs... here is your $100,000 bill, have a good life."
