That's a common strawman. No one is suggesting that you owned slaves. You don't. I believe you. You're a citizen of our republic and our republic promised to pay. You're responsible. I'm responsible. If you don't want to be responsible for the promises our government makes, you have to stop being a citizen. While you're free to do that, I don't recommend it.

This is incorrect. If they can't "make it" here, it might be their fault or it might not be. Like Manic said,
