Liberal Website Demands White People Pay “5% White Privilege Tax”
In an op-ed on a liberal website (or blog) called “WeSplain”, the author goes into great detail on how white people, especially men, should pay extra taxes because they’re more privileged.
From WeSplain
It’s irrefutable, white people are privileged. Recognition of this basic fact of life is not enough. It’s time to take action to level the economic playing field. At a time when PoC is still tremendously disadvantaged, despite the best efforts of affirmative action policies, something else must be done.
The Equality Tax
Current US tax policy fails to recognize the inherent economic disadvantages that PoC face on a daily basis. Racist employers, a disproportionate targeting of minorities by law enforcement, racial wage gaps, poor inner city schools; these all contribute to what is an undeniable reality for minorities. A reality that equates to an unfair economic disadvantage.
To even the playing field, the privileged should pay more. I don’t know how much more, but it must be more. Let’s start at 5% as if centuries of subjugation could ever be righted by such a minuscule percentage. Certainly, the privileged can stand to spare 5% with all of their economic advantages.
What would a 5% Equality Tax Mean? ($151 Billion Dollars)
First, we have to do some math. According to USGovernmentRevenue.com, in the fiscal year 2017, the US government will bring in $3.64 trillion dollars from federal taxes.
According to TaxFoundation.org, white Americans pay 83% of the federal income tax.

The ONLY ones who should be Taxed Excessively are Liberal Trash YOU WANT BIGGER GOVERNMENT YOU PAY 80% IN TAXES ME I BELIEVE IN SMALLER GOVERNMENT I SHOULD ONLY PAY 10% IN TAXES. YOUR PARTY IS THE PARTY OF THE KKK NOW WE NEED TO TAX LIBERALS 10% MORE FOR BEING THE RACIST PARTY OF THE KKK
You people have lived off of us for generations, getting all free food, medical treatment, etc. Like Hell I will pay for being white.

All statements containing the phrase “it’s irrefutable” or any variation thereof, are false.
As a proud marshmallow I agree that we honkies have had it far too easy and should pay more
WHITES MUST DIE
This sounds a lot like the “non-muslim” tax enforced in Arab countries called “Jizya”
i think black and brown minorities should pay a 20% tax for being highly overrepresented on welfare
Gee, I never knew i was privileged to be a white person because just like people of color I struggle to make a living. My white skin has never made it easier.
These idiots need to get a grip.
I will gladly pay a white privilege tax after you pay a 15℅ useless worthless sponging monkey tax.
well this is racial, gender and hate all rolled into one!!! But lets define white? Technically we are all immigrants right?
