Blacks are paying probably at least $300 billion dollars a year in taxes on $1.3 trillion dollars in income. With $300 billion a year being forced out of our community I don't see how we can write the government a blank check.
Too often we are positioned as consumers in this economic system to support or finance our own economic and social enslavement. We can't afford to write the government a blank check too.
Since we pay so much in taxes we need a ROI. Therefore politically we should use the political system to control government expenditures in our community.
When the government buys goods and services we should get the contracts and use the income to advance ourselves locally and nationally. I'm seeing this in NYC with progressive candidates like Charles & Inez Barron, Letitia James, and James Sanders Jr. being elected locally to challenge the status quo politicians.
