Why should I pay taxes to fund reparations for something I didn't do?

Maybe Europe should pay? I mean the reason America was settled was because of religious persecution in Europe. It probably would have happened eventually anyway but there's a direct link to people being mistreated in Europe that caused the Indians to loose their land.
wasn't it the British who tried to protect the Indians?
