Memorial Day: A Refund.
Warning: I'm only a quarter-joking.
The day may be fast approaching when African Americans will be compensated for the pain and suffering that their ancestors were put through during the time of slavery. If and when this happens I hope that we may begin a new campaign to win a refund for the sacrifice paid to this country in defense of what my ancestors thought was to be a land of freedom. I think it may be fair to say that this country is not quite what my grandfather fought for during WWII, or any number of relatives who came here from Ireland, Germany, and Italy. I would like the United States Government to refund to me, as heir, the price of their sacrifice for freedom so that I may relocate to another country. I figure$10,000 $25,000 is a fair price, though obviously such a sacrifice cannot be quantified in any way. Regardless, if possible, I would like this amount of money deposited into my checking account sometime over the summer. After which, I will gladly begin the process of obtaining citizenship somewhere else.
