A California committee considering reparations has recommended that each African-American living in the Golden State receive as much as $1.2 million in taxpayer money. That report now goes to the state legislature for "consideration."

This continues the extreme leftist view that all working Americans should be punished for the institution of slavery because tax dollars would be used for the payments.

This is wrong on every level. First off, Americans today are not responsible for the heinous slave industry. Secondly, almost 700,000 Union soldiers were killed or wounded fighting to end slavery in the Civil War. Are their ancestors entitled to reparations?

The British Crown confiscated my family's farm in County Cavan, Ireland, leading to generational suffering. Should I demand payments from London? Almost every family on earth has been victimized in some way.

Historically, it has been more difficult for black Americans to succeed economically in America. Fact. But this country has spent trillions over the years in an effort to make amends.

No reparations. It is simply unfair. And the California Governor, Gavin Newsom, knows it. He is not likely to back reparations because, someday, he wants to run for president, and the public does not support reparations.
