Congresswoman Suggests Black Americans Should Not Have To Pay Taxes as Part of Reparations Push
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is a freshman lawmaker from Texas who has made a name for herself as a fierce defender of the president from the Republicans’ impeachment inquiry.

As reparations commissions across the country struggle with how to deal with the issue, one federal lawmaker says that Black Americans should simply be exempted from paying taxes for a certain period of time as part of that effort. The lawmaker in question, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, is serving her first term in the House, representing Dallas.
“Just this past week I saw, I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity, and I was like, ‘that’s not necessarily a bad idea,’ but I’d have to think through it a lot,” Ms. Crockett said in a video posted on X by an account called End Wokeness. “One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time.”
