Reparations for what our society has taken for it's property rights need to be forward looking, and universal, regardless of race or background. What we need is a recognition that God gave us this planet; and that if our Society is going to take it away, leaving people without land to sow & work due to property "rights", then it should compensate each and every person for what is the takings. This would be a land-value tax used to pay a gaurenteed-baseline sustenance -- enough to cloth, shelter and sleep, get medical attention, education and nutritional needs. As a guidline such a payment could be what it'd cost to incarcerate someone. As an advantage, when someone fails to behave in society, you have something to take away besides their freedom... Having a gaurentteed-baseline would have enormous positive impacts on society. Imagine only the kensian stimulus, since lots of people could now afford to rent in a (tiny) apartment -or- if they want, live in a housing cooperative with other individuals together in a community. I've got no doubt that with a very meager basic sustenance, most will be more than enthusiastically work to have much more than that...
