Mfmatusky, yes, yes, yes... "the big companies, that's where the money is actually stashed." Today, the rich and powerful are still living off the backs of the enslaved who generated the capital that made them rich.

Thanks to capitalism, all that stolen money kept earning money, making it possible to pay reparations in current dollars.

As Marlene pointed out, that "capital is sitting "unused" in the bank accounts of the rich and powerful." If all that hoarded money is returned it to those who earned it, wealth will re-enter the national economy and start working again - generating jobs, creating new and innovative businesses, and eliminating poverty.
