Slavery Reparations for Millionaires
20th June 2019
“I stand here as a freed slave,” Rep. Jackson Lee had once declared on the House floor.
Her estimated net worth, as of 2015, is $3,547,506. The median House average was $800,000.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s annual salary, funded by taxpayers, is $174,000. Her husband, Elwyn C. Lee, is the Vice President for Community Relations at the University of Houston where he earns $239,501. The median salary at the University of Houston is $60,000. Lee sponsored or co-sponsored bills that sent $5.25 million to her husband’s employer in just two years. If anyone deserves reparations, it’s taxpayers.
Both Sheila Jackson Lee and Elwyn Lee are Yale graduates. Her son is a Harvard grad.
Isn’t it astonishing how much black people are oppressed in America? I mean really.
