In courting votes from the gimmes, Keyes is beginning to resemble the dem politicians.
Not at all. He's not talking about taking money from OTHERS, he's only talking about not taking money from the black people themselves to give to the government. Come to think of it, since many black families don't even make enough money to PAY income taxes, it will only affect those who actually DO pay them. Now, if he did this for payroll taxes, that could be HUGH.
One take into consideration, the Times and Tribune in Chgo. are liberal and the slant they put on this is to be taken with a grain of salt.
To see what his stand is on reparations check out RenewAmerica/Keyes Archives:
But the truth of the Civil War is that the terrible price for American slavery has been paid, once for all, by the American people's deliberate acceptance of their duty to pay it when, in God's providence, Southern intransigence brought it due.
Let us resolve, this Easter season, to remember the price America paid for her sin. Let us remember and venerate the high moral purpose of those, including Lincoln, who died to make men free.
