Crystal Foster's father advised her to spend the [fradulently received] $500,000 income tax refund she got two years ago. When the government came looking for its money, the Fosters said it was their rightful reparations, since their ancestors were slaves.

According to the Internal Revenue Service more than 80,000 tax returns were filed in 2001 seeking nonexistent slavery tax credits, totaling $2.7 billion. More than $30 million was mistakenly paid out in slave reparations in 2000 and part of 2001.

Way to go, IRS!

... the government has also begun quietly cracking down on filers of false claims after years of looking the other way.

If only they kept within reason - at least below half a million, nobody would have bothered them, but the brazen f#$%@#s had to get greedy. Spoiled the game for the rest.

Now we can Look forward to footing the bill for prosecution, non-recovery of the money that has already been spent and for housing them in jail.

Tax fraud is tax fraud. We should be putting more in jail. Coporate tax fraud too.

Black people are not treated as humans, but as things by the U.S. government," he said in an interview at the Northern Neck Regional Jail. "We were used as resources to enrich this country and we get no inheritance from the wealth we brought."

Oh please:rofl

Another good reason to support a flat tax. The current tax code is so convoluted even the IRS doesn't understand it, and therefore can't easily keep track of stupid stuff like this.

Oh Boy!

Doesn't matter how it happened... it's how you look at it.. that's important.

Don't like history... just rewrite it... re-think it.... to your point of view... and suddenly.. the world makes sense!

500 mg of Lithium would help too.

I think you need to crack open a history book my friend:aok

Americans along with europe used slaves.
And Heck yeah that was a HUGE sin.
But it is a well known fact that africans sold one another into slavery.
