Nope. Would you? You're benefiting from what happened to your ancestors.

For example im sure the unfair trade with third world isnt just about money.
Actually yeah it is. cheap labor means the same products produced at lower cost.. hence more money. Rich people don't care who they exploit.

No, you didn't.
By the way, My parents are mormon
"With 12,000 men, women, and children driven out of Missouri by mobs and militias in the most desperate conditions - having been offered no protection by the law - and their beloved leaders jailed for treason, the Saints were in difficult circumstances indeed. Further still, the state ordered that some Mormon property would be used to benefit settlers in Daviess county and fined the Church $200,000 - a huge sum - to pay the state for the trouble of driving out the Mormons. "
Sounds like I should get compensation. And my kids, and their kids, and their kids after that. and so on and so forth. Free money for me and my family for the rest of eternity, even though I wasn't driven out of missouri nor was I killed back then.
The government can pay the tab. But hey since you're a taxpayer, its really your money. nim
Unless you're a tax dodger, which is a federal felony.
