So, you believe once we've eliminate taxes on blacks, that eliminating taxes on all will surely follow? This thread get's weirder by the minute.
I think you're spinning like a F6+ tornado.
If this is for real then I propose that white people also be given 'reparations' for the 'suffering' their ancestors endured due to the Federal excuse for war in regards to owning slaves and that all of us who contiue to suffer from sub-sonic 'rap music' in cars, indecipherable use of slang and the general cultural break down by those who promote the notion that 'diversity' somehow spells 'unity' should also get their share of 'reparations'.
That was just his idea to get them documented. IL is Kerry country. Bush can't afford to waste time there. Keyes is trying and giving it a shot. If he succeeds, so does Bush. Keyes isn't offering to give away anything. If IL gives him the Senate seat and he promotes this, he promotes low tax for everyone and the rat gravy train gets cut.
I hope Keyes knows what he is doing.
With that said, I did vote for Alan in the primaries thinking that he was more conservative than anyone else. Of course - the general was quite different. ;-)
Now get this, Keyes says they don't have to file taxes.
Okay so that means that the 50 Million that were getting Welfare thru the guise of the EITC because they didn't earn squat or paid anything in would get ZERO. See they have to file to get their Big gobmet check.
SUCKERS!
All the black people I know pay taxes. I think you're correct to identify the problem more by ideology than race.
Our local "Tent City" isn't occupied or run by a group of black people. As far as I can tell, they're mostly white.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am to hear this.
I consider my$elf a $olid $upporter of Dr. Keyes and I know I can't agree with him on everything but I'm starting to take a second look at my position.
Believe me, that doesn't happen often!
True: The average income of blacks is lower than the majority of Americans.
True: Nearly half of all Americans pay little or NO income tax.
Conclusion: Since blacks earn LESS than the national median, the majority (50% +1) would fall in the group of Americans that pay little or no income tax.
I hold no ill will toward anyone who is in the lower 50% of income tax payers and have been in that class myself, however, it is an inherently biased system that uses class envy to build a voter base. Get rid of the entire income tax system and go to a NST.
Okay freepers, pay attention. What Dr. Keyes is doing here is deleting an issue that the dem's have used in recent years to keep black people on the plantation.
It's a brilliant move.
Of course reparations in any form will never pass through congress. But by supprting it in this form, Keyes makes it pretty much a non-issue.
Actually it is.
Keyes is desperate for support among blacks but this will turn off most of his non-black supporters. Again, I'm flabbergasted at the sorry state of democracy in general and the pseudo-opposition Republicans in particular that they could not come up with one legitimate local candidate for this race.
I'm sure they'll spend it wisely.
Well, apparently Keyes is the real Messiah, returned as foretold...
Isn't that a contradiction in terms? Or is Jerry Kohn throwing a major Libertarian Party principle overboard?

Your refusal to address the question and subsequent evasion by misrepresenting what was said is quite revealing.
