this country wastes so much money on military, we could have already paid for it a long time ago and been done with it.
and it is attitudes like yours that motivate people to hang on to this reality of history. The fact of the matter is that the government said they would pay reparations and they never did.
The people who fought in the revolutionary war were upset when they weren’t paid as promised too. People complained that the veterans were even being greedy at one point for asking for pensions.
if the government said they would pay, the government should pay just like in any other case where they have been in the same situation. If the government has to pay veterans because they said they would, the government should be accountable to paying reparations.
Personally, I believe in being generous and have no qualms about money being given for this purpose anyway.
there is a proverb in the Bible that says a generous man will never be in want that I’m reminded of when I think of this issue. but oddly enough, it is people that claim to be Christian who start acting like Judas complaining about Mary anointing Jesus with oil instead of selling it for money to give to the poor. These are just the excuses of people who like to pretend to worthy of praise for some higher place of morality but don’t want to give when it could potentially create peace.
Technically, the Bible also says blessed are the peacemakers and faith without works is dead, but many people ignore these things because for some reason you don’t have to follow Christ when you’re busy trying to prove that the left is of the devil. This is much more important work than giving and trying to create peace. This is much more important than being generous And just another reason that the right has failed miserably to demonstrate that they have any real leadership ability.
