Right, but if we were all under the same government and a majority of us voted to give Marty's family and other similarly situated families money, the government taking your money and my money for that would not be robbery.

The point is- who wants to give Marty's family money? Not anyone who has no dog in that fight. And no one present day has a dog in the fight. But if your family wants to give Marty's family money y'all go right ahead. 

I can show via genealogy that no one in my family owned slaves. Hell, the Germans and Irish were treated quite badly when they came over here; look up Irish slavery. We had to pretend to be something else so we weren't treated harshly and only got away with it because we happened to be white. 

So, yeah, I'm not paying anyone anything because I owe no one.
