Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., reintroduced a bill on the campaign trail this week, which could mean $57 million in tax refunds for married LGBT couples.The Refund Equality Act, which was originally introduced in 2017, would allow LGBT couples who were married prior to the 2013 Supreme Court strike-down of the Defense of Marriage Act in U.S. v. Windsor to amend tax returns from the time that they were married. Prior to 2013, 10 states had legalized same-sex marriage, but were required to file their federal taxes as individuals. Following the 2013 Supreme Court's decision,

I lost 8 of my Jewish relatives that FDR wouldn't let into the USA in 1938. I want reparations.
My friend had all of his relatives interned into internment camps in 1942 (Japanese Americans). Where are their reparations?

And when they get free college for everyone, reparations for all those who had to pay their own tuitions. Think how many votes that'll get!

Everyone should get reparations. Take your money out of the pocket it is in and put it in the other one.

# 8, the Japanese were compensated - President Reagan gave a public apology, and in 1992 President George Bush Sr. issued $20,000 checks to the survivors.
Oh yeah they were not democrats.
Now who gets compensated in Warrens plan? The descendants of Gay people? That would be a very small group.

When we adopted our daughter in 1990, adoption expenses were not tax deductible. Now they are. I want my reparations.
The names of over 100 of my ancestors are on the memorial wall in the Holocaust Museum in Kraków, Poland. I want reparations for them too.
We could keep playing this game until everyone now on the planet and those yet to be born (if they aren’t aborted) are due reparations of some sort. Best solution - stop the idiocy!

Seriously, Dims. This is more transparent than Hillary's negligé on a steamy evening. If you're trying to buy votes, why not just come out and make an offer the electorate can't refuse? You could offer every voter $1000 to be collected (as an IOU, of course) upon voting for the Democrat nominee for president. That way you wouldn't have to go through all this "reparations" nonsense. Just admit you're buying votes - and just do it! We're sure it's entirely legal...

What about reparations to the Cherokee for the Trail of Tears? Has Fauxcahontas forgotten about her own people? And is there no end to her own Trail of Pandering?

This is what I mean when I say leftists hate God so they become gods unto themselves. If she wants to give them reparations in the form of tax refunds, she'd better consider how such a thing would anger the rest of us taxpayers who deserve massive refunds due to overtaxation. Especially since there is no such thing as two men or two women entering into what is a real marriage. God gave them male and female. Period, and since the beginning of time. These perverts are acting like earls and kings pitting us against one another by giving away resources that don't belong to them, destroying the world, and angering a very just and merciful God. Their lives are life vapors, as with the rest of us, but they leave hell to pay for generations after they're gone. Disgusting individuals.

Do Not forget Transgenders. After all, they can claim reparations twice. Once for being Boys from (name any country where they were oppressed), then as women they can claim they were discriminated against their entire life. Bingo! Double Reparations!

This is not governing. Why would I vote for someone that does not know how to govern? I hope people, regardless of party, can see through this sham.

Reparations for what, the humiliation for living in a closet by their own choice instead of experiencing their defective brain-plumbing connection in the open and being able to celebrate it with a rainbow flag? Newsflash, NOBODY cares.

One of the other candidates, should call her on these ill-conceived promises. Perhaps, say to the people, all I have to give you is my word not some empty campaign promises design to trick you for your vote. As my mother used to say, never take candy from strangers. Liz and Bernie have a truck load of it.

This is what an insane political ideology does to people. They lose their ability to reason. Add that to a lust for power like I have never seen in my entire life and you have one crazy bunch vying for the title of Panderer in Chief in order to gain political power. They don’t care how many lies must be told, how much voter fraud that will produce a victory, or how insanely politically ambitious they are. All that matters is winning.

Well that will lock up about 1% of the vote for her.

Wow! She is desperate. How about reparations for spayed cats? Their owners deprived them of bearing offspring. Maybe I need to start a Go Fund Me for that atrocious deprivation of reproductive rights/

And the Republicans are the party of division? The Dems are creating an environment of division that won't go away.
I want reparations for all of the women who went to work during WWII, like my mother, who gave up their jobs when the men came home, was hired again but lost all of the benefits they had accrued and had to start over.
Also, for mental anguish for me because I wanted to be a Bat-Boy for the Phillies and take Shop in HS instead of Home Economics but wasn't allowed because I was a girl.

Set aside the pandering issue for a moment. What does this say about her knowledge of tax policies and the impact on ordinary citizens? Has this Harvard professor never heard of the "marriage penalty" that is built into federal tax rates?

The democrats have finally hit the wall with their identity politics. With front-of-the-line preferences for everything, along with free food, housing, cable TV, and finally Obamaphones, the democrats pretty much exhausted their "free stuff for black people" policies. So, what do give to someone who has everything? Cash (reparations). And hey! What the heck! If it works for them, why not free cash for LGBTQRST? And Bernie, not to be outdone, offers free cash to college educated millennials (student loan forgiveness).
You can identify which identity group the democrats most want to attract by how much free cash they will offer them this election.

These liberal political fools will need to establish the Department of Reparations, staff it, then pass legislation establishing who deserves someone else's money.
What are the chances of that happening?
Someone needs to tell America's victimized losers to get a job and shut up.

I'm Catholic and my German-Catholic ancestors were chased out of central Missouri by anti-Catholic vigilante's just prior to the Civil War. Can I claim reparations? Especially because my great-grandfather served in the GAR.

Yikes! No. 38. That is one dangerous posting you put out there. The concept of a Department of Reparations is something the Dems will jump on as fast as a kid inside one of those inflatable playsets. We freepers have to be a bit more careful as we are smarter and quicker than the libs. They just might see our sarcastic suggestions and use them. Ouch.

How about reparations for all we taxpayers who have been forced by the IRS to fund democrat salaries and democrat anti-American policies, including funding criminals (illegals) health care, housing, and food?
