There are several reasons to oppose tax increases. First, every dollar of tax increase is a dollar you didn’t get in spending restraint.

Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes. If Congress was serious about reparations – in ’93 and ’94 the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House, and not one single Republican vote was needed for reparations.
