Bloomberg Businessweek’s latest “equality issue” has questioned whether the thousands of pages of U.S. tax code are — wait for it — “racist.” It’s as if the left isn’t even trying to make sense anymore.
The cover of the new issue led with a picture of Emory University Law Professor Dorothy Brown — who made the argument that the tax code is racist. The picture was captioned with a leading question: “Is The Tax Code Racist?” The actual story headline was just as bad: “A Tax Code Optimized for White Wealth Leaves Black Americans Behind.”

Wow. 4-year old logic now drives “adult” proclamations.
Chocolate is racist.
Must be a special kind of stupid to propose that!!
I am right there with you - abolish the IRS - give the minorities a greater share of supporting it to bring it up to par with the ‘racists’ - in fact, we should give them a greater share of supporting the IRS by increasing their support to more than the racists.
Its just so dam funny.
These are the same types of libtards that instituted the income tax system to specifically go after the wealth of “rich whites”. Only the top few percent of people would ever even pay it, and it would take care of all spending and budget problems, they said then.
Yup.
Now its racist against blacks, over 100 years later. Wow.

No no
only whitey should pay taxes
thats mostly who pays the vast majority of taxes now. apart from commercial business.
Yes, so let’s abolish income tax and go to a national sales tax.
If leftist really got behind the idea that the tax code is racist, that will start to get the ball rolling on getting rid of the IRS.
Come on BLM, keep it up -- make up chants "hey hey, ho, ho, the IRS has got to go!".
Yes it is racist against white people.. Mostly white males.. And racist against employed people who follow the rules and obey the laws.
