   It's only fair that the Democrats pay reparations for the slave trade   
   and to the disenfranchised Mexicans too. That was a terrible thing to do   
   to people for profit. So, I figure Native Americans in Canada should get   
   their welfare, at least, to triple from $640 month up to at least a   
   living wage.   
      
   It's their land!   
      
   While we are on the subject. I'd be in favor of all European countries,   
   all pony up for all that killing and enslaving all those poor Aztecs and   
   Mayans down in Central America!
