Errrr???? They did , starting soon after the war , and they still are . As are corporations and institutions that benefited from those events .

Try again Redleg
Yes indeed it was a reach.

But so is your statement since everything I have read about German War repration payments to the Jews went to the state of Israel not to individual families - I am not to far off. That those reprations ended oh about 20 years ago means that the fathers paid for thier sins - since the payments by the German Government was agreed to in the 1950's. All other payments by corporations and institutions are a result of what - law suits if my memory serves me correctly.

Again forcing me to pay with my tax dollars for something 5 to 6 generations removed is something else beside equality and fair play. Forcing the government to give back lands to the natives who it was stolen from might be more in line - which is way as Aenlic pointed out the Souix have refused to take the money - they want their land back.
