Lone Congressman Stands Up to Major "Guilt" Scam
On Tuesday, the House voted to give $4.55 billion to black and American Indian “farmers” who claim the Department of Agriculture or the Interior Department discriminated against them in some way. The word “farmers” is in quotation marks because, in one lawsuit alone, five times as many people filed for refunds than ever owned or operated a farm in any way.
Is this is part of Barack Obama’s plan to give minority groups that vote heavily Democratic — including blacks, Hispanics, American Indians, and women – “stealth reparations”? The standard of evidence for discrimination is minimal , which fuels the number of applicants ready to cash in at the taxpayers’ expense. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is a maverick and an uncompromising patriot who urged his fellow Congressmen to vote against the funding and to “make investigation of Pigford fraud a top priority.”
Here is Steve King's unfortunately unheeded speech on the House floor against this latest "guilt" scam.
This is the Communist Party USA take on the story - from today's Peoples World.
Not content with gloating over an huge rip-off of taxpayer funds, the commies have to slander the Tea Party movement as well. Way to go comrades!The bill sets aside $1.15 billion to settle claims of racist discrimination against Black farmers by the USDA. It sets aside an additional $3.4 billion to compensate American Indians who were cheated out of billions in royalties for oil, gas and timber harvested from their lands because of Interior Department mismanagement...
Meanwhile, Koch Oil admits stealing $31 million worth of oil from Indian tribes in Oklahoma by deliberately understating the quantity of oil they were pumping from wells on the reservations. The Interior Department would have been culpable in Koch's theft since federal law mandates that they manage oil and gas leases on tribal lands. Koch stole additional billions from taxpayers over the past forty years by lying on how much oil and gas they were pumping from federal lands. Some of that stolen oil and gas paid for the billionaire Koch brother's drive to steal the Nov. 2 midterm elections by secretly funding a campaign of lies and smears targeting Democratic incumbents. The Koch brothers have doled out at least $100 million to bankroll the Tea Party and a network of other rightwing extremist gangs.

This is such an outrage.
It's another scheme to bankrupt our country while "redistributing the wealth" to frauds first.
We've seen what Obama's ACORN can do. It's certain these claims will be loaded with fraud - and they'll get away with it too, with Obama there to get things done "under the radar".
Also, I didn't own any slaves. My family didn't come to America until after 1900. There's a lot of other Americans who can say the same.
And I'm not even rascist. This is so wrong.
The Traitors & Cowards in Congress should make reparations to us We The People - now.
@stang289 - That was a good point.
This is nonthing but a disguised reparations payment for slavery. The gullible white population has been intimidated into a guilt trip for something they have never done.
The first registered slave and slave owner in North America were both black. (see: "Antonio the Negro" - 1645).
There were some 200 black slave owners here during the Civil War, some owned 100 slaves each. Many blacks fought in the Confederate Army. Several Indian tribes owned slave too.
It wasn't only white people who owned slaves, but it was white people who died by the hundreds of thousands in the bloodiest war this country was ever involved in to free them. The "battle cry" should be: "White people freed the negro slaves!". They should owe us reparations for our sacrifice and loss of our forfathers.
The Constitution forbids "corruption of blood", one cannot be punished for any sins of our forefathers that we had nothing to do with.
My family never owned slaves, I will not be put on a guilt trip by Marxists seeking a free lunch.
heres the whole thing its almost an hour long but worth getting even more ticked off , http://www.breitbart.tv/rep-king-and-rep-bachmann-explain-fraud-behind-pigford-settlement/
