- A “woke” university professor has claimed that American taxpayers owe $14 trillion in slavery reparations.
- William Darity, a public policy professor at Duke University, cites the U.S. government’s Covid spending as evidence that tax dollars can be spent in such a way.
- According to a government entity that tracks spending, the federal government spent a total of $4.6 trillion in taxpayer money during the pandemic.
