Also there’s an unseen benefit imo; observers (of whatever color creed etc) might witness a payout (reparations) and that will trigger a response,no matter how repressed or buried, of “they’re getting something, and I’m not”.

This happens no matter how much it’s owed, makes sense, whatever.

Obviously there’s degrees but the extreme response of jealousy or anger (those ignorant enough to participate in bigoted think) would exist.

What I’m getting at is, I would think the benefit of the absence of taxes would be easier, socially, to accept and on a broader scale than give any segment of the population million dollar checks.

Could be wrong, no data here other than how the idea strikes me.
