Imagine the confusion in the Obama campaign. He's offering anyone who can prove they are descendents of slaves the opportunity to live income tax free for life (twice).

Oh, please.

The first thing that would happen would be that in the name of "justice" and "fairness" (and preventing riots), "one drop of black blood" would be declared "descendents of slaves" by definition -- by statute.

Want more?

The next thing that would happen would be that in the name of "justice" and "fairness" (etc.), it would be decreed that all others would be prohibited from receiving any tax relief "for the next two generations", because otherwise, it would render moot "the reparations", and thus open the door for even more "reparations".

Remember, the imaginary "restitution" angle is only HALF the "reparations" scam.

The OTHER half if the punitive measures against whitey.

Remove the punitive angle (i.e., extend tax relief to ALL people), and "reparations" are no longer worth the paper they're written on.

Want more?

When "two generations" have elapsed (um, that'll be after some legislimers succeed in defining a "generation" as being 120 years or some similar maximum lifespan), there ain't gonna be any end to "reparations", because NO ONE is gonna want to tell the priviliged majority that all of a sudden, for the first time in over two hundered years, they are gonna have to start paying taxes!

Just some stuff to chew on.

Yeah, it'll go down hard -- after it breaks some molars -- but hey, it's good to know what you're swallowing, right?

I'm quite familiar with the slippery-slope argument.

Care to address the factual possibilities of Keye's proposal when the "reparation" is for income tax-free status?

That means if you don't earn income, you don't get a break. It promotes hard work and deflates welfare.
