About
I'd like to state first that anyone can support this petition no matter race, religious background, or political affiliation. A better Black/African American community makes America stronger as a whole and will benefit every American. Not to mention it will help to continue our strength in this global economy for decades to come. We have asked for traditional reparations for the effects of slavery and systemic racism which most likely will not happen for multiple reasons fair or unfair. So, I am petitioning to allow the estimated 50 million Black/African Americans to be allowed to self-tax to produce the much-needed infrastructure resources to reverse the damages of the transgressions and improve the life of Black/African Americans and their communities.
This tax is to be federal law and collected mandatory just like any other federal tax (small incriminates from payroll checks to satisfy a specified amount of $100-$1000 yearly). The Tax is to be totally controlled by representatives of the Black Infrastructure Tax Act with no interference or oversight from United States government. This small tax has the potential to produce between 5 and 50 billion dollars yearly for Black America at a minimum and much more (trillions) if the full weight of the plan is executed (manufacturing, real estate, global banking/investing and getting involved in the business of money on a global scale are some examples).
My goal is to request Michelle Obama (or any fearless, capable, honest person with integrity) as the lead treasurer/president, and organize a cabinet of thoroughly vetted, proven and integrity-based city, state, regional, national activist, lawyers, politician, teachers, businesspeople, economist, community leaders, therapist, sociologists, scientist, etc. to support her and utilize funds to work around the clock to change the Black/African American experience in America. The Black Infrastructure Tax Act can be structured like a typical business organizational hierarchy or similar to any of our nation's governmental structure, whichever suits our needs and safeguards against corruption most effectively.
Why we will succeed where other taxes have not is Initially in our vetting process, making sure the right people are put in the right position, limiting power, and creating a system of balance and review. Secondarily, full transparency (down to the penny) of every dollar spent (who, what, when, where, why, how), that every taxed American can view 24-7 online and see plainly what the money was used for in full itemized detail and virtual touring. Last but not least is our penalty/reclamation process for any embezzlement, misuse or defrauding of funds. We will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. We will sue you to the fullest extent of the law. We will expose and shun you visibly and loudly and impose lifetime bans that you can never work with or be affiliated with The Black Infrastructure Tax Act in any way, shape or form, family included, referral included. Theft and dishonesty will not be tolerated in any capacity, no exemption no exceptions.
Some of the things we can do with the financial resources to build infrastructure for the Black/African American community is:
​
1) Build/create banks to improve and promote financial literacy and economic development.​
​
2)Build world class cultural centers to teach Black Americans properly about their lineage and history, and promote understanding and self-awareness so that the youth have a clearer vision of who they are and where they want to go.
​
3) Buy farmland and produce crops to overhaul the nutritional intake of the Black community and usher in healthier food options and lifestyle choices.
​
4) Reinvigorate education facilities and resources throughout our communities from grade school all the way to the HBCU's. All our schools can rival and exceed that of well-funded private schools in time.
​
5)Build scientific/ medical research facilities to have the opportunity to be proactive in things that affect us on those levels and aid the science/medical community in providing better care and understanding how the Black/ African American body works and give access and knowledge of holistic/eastern medicine to the people.
​
6) Be the first line of defense against poverty in our communities by creating job opportunities and job training and trades/coding development. Job opportunities will be accomplished by doing business with major companies to bring job opportunities to our communities and hire a Black workforce (in exchange for tax help, wage supplement, company investment development). Job/trades and coding skill development will be accomplished by building free training facility for in demand job/trades and building free community use computer coding facilities in our community so that we have the opportunity to compete in the computer sciences in this digital space the world is in.
​
7) Be the first wave of resistance to violence and drugs in our community. It will not be easy but we will use every humane strategy that our resources, unity, and community can afford us to attempt to substantially reduce the drug and violence epidemic in our community and help heal and guide our people towards better choices.
