The Democrats’ proposed slavery reparations commission legislation contains an outdated provision that designates top-tier GS-18 federal pay for each member of the commission it establishes.
According to the Office of Personnel Management, the highest pay grade for federal civil service employees is currently the GS-15 level, which goes up to $172,500.
The Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act sets up the commission to “address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery.” The 13 colonies were under the control of Great Britain until the U.S. gained its independence in 1776.
If passed and signed into law, the bill would require the commission to “recommend appropriate remedies in consideration” of its findings after studying reparations and the history of slavery.
According to the legislation, the 13-member commission would be comprised of “persons who are especially qualified to serve on the commission by virtue of their education, training, activism or experience, particularly in the field of African American studies and reparatory justice.” According to the legislation, “seven members of the Commission shall constitute a quorum, but a lesser number may hold hearings.”
It’ll be sure to come up with some interesting takes on a plethora of imagined and real historical truths and fictions, liberally sprinkled (hammered) with SJW myth and manufactured outrage. Blowback will come from unexpected places.
Who’s paying for it England who are the ones responsible for slavery in America as well as black Muslim slave traders that still operate today . White Americans made the sacrifice to end slavery and are the ones deserving of reparations
